How to use Fluomizin vaginally
- Insert one tablet each night before bed for six days, unless otherwise directed. If you have a persistent infection, 12 nights may be better.
- Use a clean finger to insert tablet as far into your vagina as you can.
- Do the full treatment even if your symptoms go away in the middle.
- If you have a dry vagina, the tablets may not disintegrate properly, and may come out whole – this means your treatment has not worked, so you can moisten the tablet with some water before insertion to make up for dryness.
- Expect to the tablet to eventually come out of your vagina into your underwear – wear a panty liner if you want to. It does not stain.
- Do not use Fluomizin with douches, spermicides or other vaginal products.
- Avoid unprotected sex when using Fluomizin. Latex condoms are safe to use with the product, but non-latex condoms and diaphragms may have reduced efficacy, so wait at least 12 hours after application.
- If you miss a dose, don’t double dose – just keep going. If you miss more than one treatment, you may need to order some more product and start again.
- If the Fluomizin is not breaking up properly in your vagina due to dryness, dip it in water before you insert it. It needs a bit of moisture.
Fluomizin safety during pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding
- Avoid Fluomizin within 12 hours before giving birth to minimise exposure to a newborn.
