Class 1 OTC medicine. One preloaded, single-use applicator containing one vaginal tablet.

Inactive ingredients: Lactose hydrate, cellulose, carmellose, magnesium stearate.

Directions: Insert one tablet deep into the vagina using the applicator once only, preferably at bedtime. Do not add any other candidiasis vaginal tablets or suppositories. For vaginal use only; do not swallow. If accidentally swallowed, see a doctor immediately.

Wash your hands with soap before use. Open the blister and lift the applicator by its holder, not its plunger. Remove the stopper and keep the same grip throughout insertion. In a relaxed position, gently insert the outer tube diagonally upward until your fingers at the holder reach the vaginal opening, then press the plunger all the way in. Withdraw slowly, discard the applicator and wash your hands with soap. Do not reuse it or use a damaged applicator. See the illustrated application instructions.

Do not use during menstruation. See a doctor if your period starts within 6 days after use. If a tablet comes out undissolved, with its original shape and size, within 6 days, do not insert another yourself; consult a doctor or pharmacist. Small white lumps or paste-like discharge may occur as the medicine leaves the body.

Do not use if:

• You have never had a doctor's diagnosis and treatment for vaginal candidiasis, or are unsure whether this is a recurrence (for example, discharge is not white and cottage-cheese-like, or smells unpleasant).
• You have had a recurrence within 2 months, or two or more within 6 months.
• You have fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, lower abdominal pain, irregular or abnormal bleeding, bloody discharge, vaginal or vulval ulcers, blisters or pain, or painful or difficult urination.

Consult a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are receiving medical treatment, breastfeeding, or have had allergic reactions to medicines or other substances.

Possible side effects: Vaginal throbbing pain, swelling, redness, irritation, itching or a feeling of heat. If these occur, immediately consult a doctor or pharmacist with the package insert.

When to see a doctor: If symptoms have not improved after 3 days or have not disappeared after 6 days, seek medical care rather than adding another dose.

For 6 days after use: Avoid sexual intercourse, spermicides and washing inside the vagina. Gently clean the vulva with lukewarm water, not soap. Keep the area dry, change out of wet swimwear, replace panty liners frequently, and wear breathable cotton underwear. Use clean underwear and towels without sharing them.

Class 1 OTC medicine. This is the single-dose tablet inserted with a finger. Flady CC1A is the same dose in a disposable applicator.

Inactive ingredients: Lactose hydrate, cellulose, carmellose, magnesium stearate.

Directions: Insert one tablet deep into the vagina once only, preferably at bedtime.

Wash your hands with soap and push the tablet out of the blister sheet. In a relaxed position (for example, one foot raised, or crouching), use a fingertip to insert the tablet as deeply as possible into the vagina, then wash your hands with soap. Do not use an applicator with this product. If you want an applicator, use Flady CC1A.

Do not use during menstruation. See a doctor if your period starts within 6 days after use. If the tablet comes out undissolved, with its original shape and size, within 6 days, do not insert another yourself; consult a doctor or pharmacist.
