• Lomexin vaginal creamThe recommended dose is the contents of the applicator (approximately 5 g). Introduce the contents of the applicator deeply into the vagina (see instructions for use). Apply Lomexin cream using the applicator (washable and reusable) before bedtime, and if necessary also in the morning. To avoid re-infection, simultaneous local treatment (glans and foreskin) of the partner with Lomexin cream is recommended.

Instructions for use:

• 1.Screw the applicator onto the tube in place of the cap.
• 2.Gently press the tube at its lower end to fill the applicator. If the piston offers some resistance, pull it gently. Unless otherwise prescribed by your doctor, fill the applicator completely.
• 3.Remove the applicator from the tube, which should be immediately resealed with the cap.
• 4.In a lying position, with your knees bent and spread, gently insert the applicator into the vagina as deeply as possible. Push the piston completely. Then withdraw the applicator without touching the piston.

Make sure that the applicator is always perfectly clean. After each use, wash it thoroughly with warm water and soap. If your doctor has advised you, for specific reasons, to sterilize the applicator, follow their instructions. However, do not use hot water at more than 50°C, or organic solvents. Then dry the applicator and store it in its container.

• Lomexin soft vaginal capsulesThe recommended dose is:
• 1 soft vaginal capsule of 200 mg in the evening before bedtime, for three days, according to the doctor's judgment; or
• 1 soft vaginal capsule of 600 mg in the evening in a single dose. If symptoms persist, a second dose may be repeated after 3 days.

Instructions for use:
The soft vaginal capsules should be inserted deeply into the vagina (up to the level of the fornices).

• Lomexin vaginal solutionThe recommended dose is 1-2 vaginal irrigations per day, for 7 days, as supportive therapy to other formulations for the prevention of recurrences.

Instructions for use:

Fig. 1Hold the bottle by the knurled ring and bend the cap until the safety seal breaks.

Fig. 2Extract the cannula holding it through the cap until it clicks into position.

Fig. 3The cannula is adjustable as needed. Gently insert the cannula into the vagina and press the walls of the bottle with more or less intensity, in order to completely empty it; a special valve prevents the solution from returning into the bottle.
