How Should I Use This Product? This product is for adults and children 12 years of age and over. For children under 12 years, ask a doctor. Directions for using the 3 Vaginal Suppositories: Begin treatment before going to bed: 1 Tear off one suppository from the strip. Separate the plastic wrap with your thumb. With thumb and forefinger on each hand, hold the plastic tabs and pull apart (see picture). 2 Place suppository in the top of the applicator so it will not fall out. 3 Hold the applicator containing the suppository by the opposite end from where the suppository is located. 4 Gently insert the applicator into the vagina as far as it will go comfortably. This can be done while lying on your back with your knees bent (as shown in picture), or while standing with your feet apart and knees bent. 5 With one hand holding the barrel, use the other hand to push the plunger all the way in to place the suppository as far back in the vagina as possible. Then remove both parts of the applicator from the vagina. 6 REUSABLE APPLICATOR: Be sure to clean the applicator after each use. Gently pull apart the applicator pieces. Wash them with soap and warm water. To rejoin, gently push the inside piece into the ribbed end of the outside piece as far as it will go. DISPOSABLE APPLICATORS: Throw away applicator after use. Do not flush in toilet. 7 Lie down as soon as possible after inserting the suppository. This will reduce leakage. 8 Repeat steps 1-7 before bedtime for the next 2 days. You may want to use deodorant-free pads or pantyshields to protect your clothing during the time that you are using this product. This is because the suppository can leak or you may get some discharge. Do not use tampons, douches, spermicides, condoms or diaphragms until after you have completed the treatment and your symptoms are gone. Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4
