How to use: Zazole is made in the form of a cream or vaginal suppository. Users can use a pump or use their fingers to put inflammatory drugs into the vagina if desired.
Dosage: In terms of dosage, Zazole is usually applied 1 time / day before going to bed in the course of 3-7 days in a row. Even if the symptoms of itching and discomfort disappear after 1 or 2 days of treatment, the user should continue to take the drug until the prescribed amount of medicine is exhausted. Stopping the medication too soon can give yeast a chance to grow, leading to a re-infection.
