For Best Results

1. Be sure to use all of the doses even if your symptoms go away before the course of therapy is complete.
2. Use the product even during your menstrual period.
3. Wear cotton underwear.
4. If your partner has itching, redness or discomfort of his penis, he should consult his doctor. He should tell the doctor that you are treating yourself for a vaginal yeast infection.
5. Dry the outside vaginal area thoroughly after a shower, bath or swim. Change out of a wet bathing suit or damp clothes as soon as possible. A dry area is less likely to lead to the growth of yeast.
6. Wipe from front to rear after a bowel movement or urination.
7. Do not douche unless your doctor tells you to do so. Douching may wash the product out of the vagina.
8. Try not to scratch the skin outside the vagina. Scratching can cause more irritation and can spread the infection.
9. Discuss with your doctor any drugs you are now taking. You are more likely to get a vaginal yeast infection with certain drugs.
