The ovule should be inserted into the vagina, as high as possible, using the applicator provided.
Adults: One 500 mg ovule should be inserted at night. Using the applicator provided, the ovule should be inserted as high as possible into the vagina. This is best achieved when lying back with legs bent up. A second treatment may be carried out if necessary.
