USE: treats vaginal yeast infections
1 THIS PRODUCT CURES MOST RECURRENT VAGINAL YEAST INFECTIONS
IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU HAVE HAD VAGINAL ITCH AND DISCOMFORT, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR. IF YOU HAVE HAD A DOCTOR DIAGNOSE A VAGINAL YEAST INFECTION BEFORE AND HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS NOW, USE THIS OINTMENT AS DIRECTED. THIS PRODUCT IS FOR THE TREATMENT OF RECURRENT VAGINAL YEAST INFECTIONS ONLY. IT DOES NOT TREAT OTHER INFECTIONS AND DOES NOT PREVENT PREGNANCY.
This product, a vaginal ointment that contains an antifungal medicine, works to cure most recurrent vaginal yeast infections by killing the overgrowth of yeast.
2 WHAT IS A VAGINAL YEAST INFECTION (CANDIDIASIS)?
A yeast infection is caused by an organism called Candida, which is a type of yeast. Healthy women usually have this yeast in the vagina. Either an overgrowth or rapid growth of this yeast can cause a vaginal yeast infection. The symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection can include any or all of the following:
- Vaginal itching – Itching can range from mild to intense.
- Vaginal discharge – This discharge may be thick like paste or lumpy like cottage cheese.
- Vaginal soreness, burning or irritation – The vagina can feel sore inside or there can be a burning sensation, particularly during vaginal intercourse.
- Rash or redness – Rash or redness may occur around the vagina (vulvar irritation).
NOTE: Vaginal discharge that is different from the above, for example, a yellow/green discharge or a discharge that smells "fishy" (foul-smelling), may indicate that you have something other than a yeast infection. If this is the case, you should consult your doctor before using this product.
3 WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU GET VAGINAL YEAST INFECTIONS?
There are several conditions that can cause too much yeast to grow inside the vagina such as:
- Hormonal changes – Changes in hormonal levels can occur during pregnancy, with the use of some birth control pills, and just before a woman's menstrual period.
- Antibiotics – Because antibiotics can kill the normal bacteria in the vagina, yeast may grow very quickly.
- Diabetes – Diabetes can also make a woman more likely to get a vaginal yeast infection.
- Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) – Various medical conditions can damage the body's normal defenses against infection. One of the most serious of these conditions is infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV -the virus that causes AIDS). Infection with HIV causes the body to be more susceptible to infections, including vaginal yeast infections. Women with HIV infection may have frequent vaginal yeast infections or, especially, vaginal yeast infections that do not clear up easily with proper treatment. If you may have been exposed to HIV and are experiencing either frequent recurring vaginal yeast infections or, especially, vaginal yeast infections that do not clear up easily with proper treatment, you should see your doctor promptly. If you wish further information on risk factors for HIV infection or on the relationship between recurrent or persistent vaginal yeast infections and HIV infection, please contact your doctor or the CDC National AIDS HOTLINE. The CDC phone numbers are: 1-800-232-4636 (English/Spanish), or 1-888-232-6348 (hearing impaired, TTY).

9 FOR BEST RESULTS
- Wear cotton underwear and loose-fitting clothes – Yeast grow in warm, moist environments. Wearing loose-fitting, cotton clothes helps create a cooler environment, which makes it more difficult for yeast to grow.
- Change out of a wet bathing suit quickly – Dampness is more likely to encourage the growth of yeast.
- Use proper hygiene – Wipe from front to rear (away from vagina) after a bowel movement or urination.
- Discuss with your doctor any medication you are now taking – Certain types of medication can make your vagina more prone to infection.
If you have any other questions or concerns about vaginal yeast infections or of a medical nature, don't hesitate to consult your doctor.
