PATIENT
INFORMATION
The patient should be instructed not to engage in vaginal intercourse
or use other vaginal products (such as tampons or douches) during treatment
with this product.
The patient should also be advised that these suppositories
use an oleaginous base that may weaken latex or rubber products such as condoms
or vaginal contraceptive diaphragms. Therefore, the use of such products within
72 hours following treatment with CLEOCIN Vaginal Ovules is not recommended.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
How do I use CLEOCIN Vaginal Ovules?
For vaginal use only. Do not take by mouth.
Use one CLEOCIN Vaginal Ovule daily, preferably at bedtime, for 3 days in a row.
Read the full directions below before using.
Insertion with the applicator:
1. Remove the vaginal ovule fromits packaging. (See Figure 1.)

2. Pull back the plunger about an inch and place the vaginal ovule in the wider end of the applicator barrel. (See Figure 2.)
Figure 2
3. Hold the applicator as shown and gently insert the end of the applicator into the vagina as far as it will go comfortably. This can be
done while lying on your back with your knees bent (as shown in Figure 3), or while standing with your feet apart and your knees

4. While holding the barrel of the
applicator in place, push the
plunger in until it stops to release
the vaginal ovule. Remove the
applicator from the vagina.
5. Clean the applicator after each
use. Pull the two pieces apart and
wash them with soap and warm
water. Rinse well and dry. Put the
two pieces back together and
store in a clean, dry place.
6. Once inside the vagina, the
ovule melts. Lie down as soon as
possible. This will keep leakage to a
minimum.

before bedtime, for the next 2
days.
Insertion without the applicator:
1. Remove the vaginal ovule from its packaging. (See Figure 1.)
2. Holding the ovule with your thumb and a finger, insert it into the vagina.
