✓If there is no improvement after 3 days, or symptoms have not disappeared after 6 days, see a doctor.
✓Follow the recommended dosage strictly.
✓This product is designed to work with a single use. After one use, the tablet stays in the vagina and works gradually, so do not use any additional vaginal tablets or vaginal suppositories for candidiasis.
✓Use inside the vagina only.
✕Do not swallow it. If you swallow it by mistake, see a doctor right away.
✕Do not use during menstruation. If menstruation starts within 6 days after use, see a doctor, because a check that you have recovered is needed. (The medicine may not work well enough during menstruation.)
✓If the tablet comes out within 6 days still in its original shape and size, without dissolving, do not insert another tablet on your own. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist.
✓Because the medicine stays in the vagina and is gradually removed from the body, white lumps or paste may come out.
✓To take out the tablet: wash your hands well with soap. Press firmly on the raised part of the PTP sheet with your fingertip to break the aluminum foil on the back, and take out the tablet. (If you use the tablet with the sheet by mistake, it may pierce the mucous membrane and cause serious injury.)
✓To insert it: squat with your legs apart and, as shown in the diagram on the leaflet, push the tablet with your fingertip into the deepest part of the vagina. (Do not use an applicator.) After inserting it, wash the fingers that touched the affected area well with soap. There is no set direction for inserting the tablet, but inserting the thinner end first is recommended because it is easier.
✓Treatment ends after this single use. But Candida remains in the vagina for 6 days, so follow the daily-life precautions.

✕Do not use this product if you:
(1) Have never been diagnosed or treated for vaginal candidiasis by a doctor.
(2) Have repeated recurrences of vaginal candidiasis (once within 2 months, or twice or more within 6 months). (If it keeps coming back in a short time, another condition such as diabetes may be the cause.)
(3) Are not sure whether it is a recurrence of vaginal candidiasis. (If the discharge is not like porridge (cottage cheese) or like white, cloudy sake lees, or if it has an unpleasant smell, another condition may be the cause.)
(4) Have a fever or chills.
(5) Have nausea or vomiting.
(6) Have lower abdominal pain.
(7) Have pain in your back or shoulders.
(8) Have irregular or abnormal bleeding, or discharge mixed with blood.
(9) Have ulcers, blisters, or pain in the vagina or the external genital area.
(10) Have pain when urinating, or difficulty urinating.
(11) Have been diagnosed with diabetes.
(12) Are using warfarin or another anticoagulant.
(13) Have ever had an allergic reaction to this product or any of its ingredients.
(14) Are pregnant or possibly pregnant.
(15) Are under 15 years of age, or are 60 years of age or older.
✕Do not use external skin medicines other than candidiasis treatments on the external genital area for 6 days after using this product.

⚠Consult a doctor or pharmacist before use if you:
(1) Are under medical treatment.
(2) Are breastfeeding.
(3) Have ever had an allergic reaction to a medicine.
⚠Consult a doctor or pharmacist — bringing this package insert with you — if the following symptoms appear in the vagina after use, as they may be side effects:
Vagina: Pain (throbbing pain), swelling (a swollen feeling), redness, irritation, itching, or warmth
✓If symptoms do not improve after 3 days, or have not disappeared after 6 days, see a doctor, bringing this package insert with you.
✓Precautions in daily life:
(1) If vaginal candidiasis comes back, you may have passed it to your partner. Tell your partner that you had vaginal candidiasis, and if your partner has itching, redness, or other discomfort on the genitals, they should see a doctor right away.
(2) To avoid passing it to your partner, avoid sex for 6 days after using this product.
(3) To avoid irritating the affected area, do not use spermicides for 6 days after using this product.
(4) To keep the medicine working, avoid washing the inside of the vagina yourself.
(5) When bathing, to avoid irritation from soap, wash the external area only lightly with warm water and no soap.
(6) Candida grows easily in warm, humid conditions, so keep the area as dry as possible. Dry the outside of the vagina well after bathing or swimming. Change out of a wet swimsuit as soon as possible. If you use sanitary products such as panty liners, change them often. Wear breathable cotton underwear.
(7) Use clean underwear and towels every day, and don't share towels with family members, to avoid infection.
(8) Candida also lives in the intestine. After using the toilet, wipe from front to back to avoid infection from the intestine.
(9) Even if it itches, avoid scratching the external area. Scratching can make the irritation worse or spread the infection.
✓Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Do not transfer to another container (this can cause mistaken use or affect quality). Do not use after the expiry date.

Additional Information

A single-tablet treatment: one tablet stays in the vagina and works gradually, so treatment is finished after one use.
