  • Push the applicator plunger to release the ovule. Remove the applicator from your vagina. Remain on your back to prevent leakage.
  • Clean the applicator with soap and hot water after each use.

Note
Apply it at bedtime to avoid leakage during the day.You can wear a sanitary pad to protect your clothes but do not use tampons during the treatment.

Certain vaginal ovules and tablets can damage condoms and reduce their efficacy. Check with your pharmacist to know if this applies to the type of ovules and tablets you are using.
Warning: If you are pregnant, do not use the applicator. Insert the ovule or tablet with your fingers.
