Micon 7 Usage

How to use Miconazole Tablet:

Before applying the tablet,

1.  Locate the area on the upper gum, just above either the left or the right incisor. The incisor tooth is the tooth just to the right or left of your two front teeth.

2.  Take one miconazole tablet out of the bottle. Miconazole is round on one side and flat on the other side. The tablet is marked with an “L” on the flat side.

Applying the miconazole tablet,

3.  Place the flat side of the miconazole tablet on your dry fingertip. Gently push the rounded side of the tablet against your upper gum. Push the miconazole tablet up as high as it will go on your gum. The flat side will be facing the inside of your lip.

4.  Hold the miconazole tablet in place by applying a slight pressure with your finger on the outside of your upper lip for 30 seconds. This will make the tablet stick to your gum.

5.  Leave the tablet in place until it dissolves.

6.  Before applying your next dose, be sure to clear away any remaining miconazole tablet material.

Miconazole Tablet:

  • Always use miconazole exactly as your doctor tells you. Miconazole is usually applied in the morning after you brush your teeth.
  • Miconazole is placed 1 time each day to your upper gum for 14 days.
  • You may eat and drink while using miconazole.
  • Do not crush, chew or swallow miconazole.
  • You should change where you place miconazole, between the left and right side of your upper gum with each use.
  • It is okay if miconazole sticks to your cheek, the inside of your lip or your gum. If miconazole does not stick or falls off of your gum within the first 6 hours, re-apply it. If it still does not stick, replace it with a new tablet.
  • If you swallow miconazole within the first 6 hours of placing, drink a glass of water and place a new miconazole to your gum.
  • If miconazole falls off or is swallowed after it was in place for 6 hours or more, do not apply a new miconazole. Just place your next dose at your regular time.
  • Check to see if miconazole is still in place after you brush your teeth, rinse your mouth, eat, or drink.

 

Other Requirements

  • Store miconazole between 68 to 77 °F (20 to 25°C)
  • Keep miconazole dry
  • Keep miconazole and all medicine out of the reach of children

How should I use Micon 7 (miconazole vaginal)?

Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.

Do not take this medicine by mouth. It is for use only in your vagina.

Wash your hands before and after using miconazole vaginal.

Insert the tablet, suppository, or cream into the vagina using the applicator as directed.

You can use a sanitary napkin to prevent the medication from staining your clothing but do not use a tampon.

Use this medication for the full prescribed length of time, even during your menstrual period. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to miconazole vaginal.

If this medication gets in your eyes, rinse with water.

Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the dose you missed and apply only the next regularly scheduled dose. Do not use a double dose of this medication.

What happens if I overdose?

An overdose of miconazole vaginal is unlikely. If you do suspect that a much larger than normal dose has been used or that miconazole vaginal has been ingested, contact an emergency room or a poison control center.
