To use Nidagel, simply apply the vaginal gel to the affected area inside the vagina, usually once or twice a day, as directed by your healthcare professional. Keep in mind that the product may leak and stain your underwear, so wearing a sanitary napkin during treatment is recommended. Follow the directions for use included in the package and continue using the gel for the full prescribed period, even if you are menstruating.
It’s not uncommon to experience mild irritation upon initial application. However, if the irritation becomes severe or persists for more than a few minutes, consult a healthcare professional.
Typically, the gel is used once a day for several days. Your pharmacist may suggest a different schedule that is better suited for you. Complete the full course of treatment to fully benefit from the medication. Avoid consuming any alcohol or alcohol-containing products while taking this medication and for a few days after discontinuing it. Alcohol consumption while taking Nidagel can lead to vomiting and painful cramps.
Take Nidagel regularly and exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Keep taking the gel until the prescription is complete even if you feel better. If you stop taking the medication too early, the infection may return and be harder to treat.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 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.
