Nystatin vaginal cream is inserted into the vagina using an applicator and is typically used once or twice a day for two weeks. Use the medication as directed by your doctor and complete the full course of treatment even if your symptoms improve. If your symptoms do not improve after completing treatment or if they get worse, you should contact your doctor.
To use nystatin vaginal cream, follow these steps:
- Wash your hands before and after use.
- Open the package and remove the applicator.
- Squeeze the cream onto the applicator as directed by your healthcare provider.
- Insert the applicator into the vagina as far as it will comfortably go.
- Press the plunger to release the cream into the vagina.
- Withdraw the applicator and discard it.
- Wash your hands again after use.
Apply nystatin vaginal cream exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Keep using nystatin vaginal cream for the full course of treatment even if you feel better. You should continue to use the cream even if you start to menstruate.
If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose, and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not use a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
