IIt is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure this medicine is working properly and does not cause unwanted effects.
This medicine may cause diarrhea, and in some cases it can be severe. It may occur 2 months or more after you or your child stop using this medicine. Do not take any medicine to treat diarrhea without first checking with your doctor. If you have any questions or if mild diarrhea continues or gets worse, check with your doctor.
The cream contains mineral oil that may weaken latex or rubber products. Do not use condoms or diaphragms during treatment and for 5 days after using this medicine.
Do not use polyurethane condoms during treatment and for 7 days after using the gel. You may use another form of condom (eg, latex or polyisoprene) for added protection against pregnancy or HIV.
This medicine may cause vaginal yeast infections (candidiasis). Check with your doctor right away if you have itching of the vagina or outside genitals, pain during sexual intercourse, or thick, white curd-like vaginal discharge without odor or with mild odor.
Do not have sex or use vaginal products (eg, tampons or douches) during treatment and for 3 days after using the gel. Do not have sexual intercourse while you are using the cream. Having sexual intercourse may reduce the strength of the medicine. This may cause the medicine to not work as well.
