4.1 Therapeutic indications
The internal cream is recommended for the treatment of candidal
vaginitis.
The external cream is recommended for the treatment of candidal
vulvitis. It should be used as an adjunct
to treatment of candidal vaginitis.
These products should only be used if candidal vulvovaginitis (thrush)
was previously diagnosed by a
doctor.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Adults
The internal cream should be administered intravaginally using the
applicator supplied. The contents of
the filled applicator (5g) should be inserted as deeply as possible
into the vagina, preferably at night.
The external cream should be thinly applied to the vulva and
surrounding area, two or three times daily
and rubbed in gently.
Treatment with the external cream should be continued until symptoms

do not improve within seven days,
the patient should consult a physician.
Generally:

onset of menstruation.
Do not use tampons, intravaginal douches, spermicides or other vaginal
products while using this product.
