1. Open the tube with the help of back side of the cap. Screw the applicator to the nozzle of the tube. By pressing the tube, the applicator is filled with cream.
2. Unscrew and insert applicator containing the cream carefully as deeply as is comfortable into the vagina. (This is best done with the patient lying on her back with the knees bent up.) Push plunger until it stops, thereby depositing the cream into the vagina.
3. Remove the applicator. Discard the tube and applicator after use.
Vaginal suppository: The suppository should be inserted into the vagina, as high as possible. This is best achieved when lying back with legs bent up.

Clotrimazole (Candigo) suppositories need moisture in the vagina in order to dissolve completely; otherwise undissolved pieces of the suppository might crumble out of the vagina. Pieces of undissolved suppository may be noticed by women who experience vaginal dryness. To help prevent this it is important that the suppository is inserted as high as possible into the vagina at bedtime.
500-mg: One suppository should be inserted at night. A second treatment may be carried out if necessary.
