The chlorhexidine digluconate, active principle of Fluomizin, belongs to the group of anti-infectives and antiseptics. Chlorhexidine digluconate is active against the bacteria that cause bacterial vaginosis.

Fluomizin is used for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis.

It is inserted into the vagina to perform the treatment at the site of the infection.

Do not use Fluomizin:

-if you are allergic to the active ingredient chlorhexidine or to any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

-if you have vaginal or uterine cervix ulceration.

-if you have not yet had your first menstruation.

Do not recommend the use of intravaginal soaps, spermicides, or vaginal washes during treatment with Fluomizin.

As with all cases of vaginal infection, do not recommend unprotected sex during treatment with Fluomizin.

Fluomizin does not reduce the effectiveness of latex condoms.

This product may reduce the effectiveness of non-latex condoms or diaphragms. Therefore, alternative contraceptive methods should be used for at least 12 hours after treatment.

Do not use Fluomizin 12 hours before delivery to minimize exposure of the newborn to chlorhexidine. Inform your doctor under the circumstances.

Stop treatment during the most profuse menstrual bleeding phase and restart it afterwards.

If symptoms persist at the end of treatment or recur afterwards, consult your doctor.

Instructions for Use

• Use the product every night before going to sleep.
• Wash your hands before opening the blister pack.
• Lie on your back with your legs slightly bent. Insert a vaginal tablet deeply into the vagina.
• Stop treatment during the most profuse menstrual days, and resume it afterwards.
• Do not interrupt treatment before time, even if you no longer have discomfort (e.g. itching, discharge, odor). A treatment of less than 6 days may cause your symptoms to reappear.

• Fluomizin contains excipients that do not fully dissolve, so you may occasionally find remnants of the tablet in your underwear. This does not affect the efficacy of the treatment. The tablet will not stain your underwear, but if you find it more comfortable, you can use a compress or a sanitary napkin.
• If you experience vaginal dryness, the vaginal tablet may not dissolve and be expelled intact. As a result, the treatment will not be optimal. In this case, you can moisten the vaginal tablet with a drop of water before insertion.

If you think the effect of Fluomizin is too strong or too weak, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

If you use more Fluomizin than you should

The administration of a higher daily dose or prolongation of the recommended duration may increase the risk of vaginal ulceration.

In case of accidental use of too many vaginal tablets or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicological Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.

If you forgot to use Fluomizin

Do not use a double dose to compensate for the missed doses.

If you interrupt treatment with Fluomizin

If treatment lasts less than 6 days, a relapse may occur. Therefore, do not interrupt treatment prematurely, not even if you no longer notice any discomfort (such as itching, discharge, or odor).

If you have any other questions about the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
