What is Butoconazole vaginal?

Butoconazole is an antifungal medication that fights infections caused by fungus.

Butoconazole vaginal (for use in the vagina) is used to treat vaginal Candida (yeast) infections.

Butoconazole vaginal may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

Follow all directions on your medicine label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.

How should I take Butoconazole vaginal

butoconazole vaginal is usually given as a single dose. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not use this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.

Do not take butoconazole vaginal by mouth. It is for use only in your vagina.

This medicine comes with patient instructions for safe and effective use. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.

The single-use applicator is for one use only. Throw the applicator away after one use, even if there is still some medicine left in it after inserting your dose.

Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve, or if your infection goes away and comes back. Frequent vaginal yeast infections that do not clear up with treatment may be a sign of a more serious condition.

Butoconazole vaginal contains mineral oil, which can weaken the latex rubber in a condom or diaphragm. These forms of birth control may be less effective if you use them during your treatment with butoconazole vaginal. Use another form of birth control while you are using butoconazole and for at least 3 full days after your treatment ends.

Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not warm the medicine applicator before using butoconazole vaginal.

Dosing information

Insert 1 applicatorful intravaginally once.
