- suppositories are intended for intravaginal use only;
- unless otherwise specified by the gynecologist, it is necessary to administer one suppository in the evening before bedtime;
- after the introduction, it is recommended not to get up or go to the toilet, otherwise some of the substance may leak out and the effect of use is reduced;

Many women recommend using pads during treatment to protect their underwear and maintain proper hygiene.
