One vaginal tablet daily for six days.


The vaginal tablets should be inserted deeply into the vagina in the evenings before retiring. This is best performed in a reclining position with the legs slightly bent.


The treatment should be interrupted during menstruation and resumed afterwards.


Although relief of discharge and infl ammation generally occurs within 24 to 72 hours, the treatment should be continued even when there is no subjective discomfort (itching, discharge, smell) anymore. A treatment less than six days could result in a relapse.
