Agisten V - Vaginal tablets for local treatment of vaginal fungal infections -Clotrimazole

Active Ingredients

Each tablet contains: Clotrimazole 0.2 g

Indications

Vaginal Tablets (for Intravaginal Use) with broad antifungal spectrum for

local treatment of vaginal fungal infections (such as Candida), which are characterized by vaginal itching, stinging, burning, accompanied occasionally by increased discharge.

Instructions

Recommended dosage unless otherwise prescribed by doctor: One tablet in the evening before retiring for three consecutive evenings.

Directions for use: Wash your hands before removing the aluminum from the tablet and after using the applicator. Insert the tablet with the help of the enclosed applicator as deeply as possible into the vagina, in the evening before retiring. The best way to perform this procedure is to lie down on your back with your knees bent slightly towards the body. Wash the applicator thoroughly and dry it after each use. If the outer genital area is also irritated and/or red, apply some Agisten cream. In order to prevent reinfection by a partner, it is advisable that the partner also apply Agisten cream to his genital area.

Complete the full course of treatment in accordance with the instructions. To ensure that the tablet comes into contact with wetness and thus dissolves completely, it is very important that the tablet be inserted as deeply as possible into the vagina.

Wear only cotton underwear and change them often. Stockings should also be changed daily.

If this is the first time you are suffering from a vaginal infection, consult with the doctor. If a doctor previously diagnosed you with a fungal infection and you are suffering from similar symptoms, use Agisten V for three days.

Do not use the medicine during your menstrual period or vaginal bleeding. The treatment must be completed before the start of your menstrual period.

During treatment with this medicine it is recommended that sexual intercourse be avoided, especially when using contraceptives made out of latex – a natural rubber (e.g. condom or diaphragm), since the effectiveness of such contraceptive measures is reduced during use of Agisten V. During treatment, do not use tampons, vaginal douching preparations, spermicides or other vaginal preparations.
