Dosage / Direction for Use
If not prescribed otherwise:
1 vaginal supp should be used every 2nd day.
If Albothyl concentrate has been used, 1 vaginal supp should be introduced into the vagina every 2nd day during intervals between cauterizations. To facilitate its introduction, the suppository may be moistened with water and then, preferably with the patient in the supine position, introduced deep into the vagina.
A nighttime application of the vaginal suppositories is the most practical. The additional use of a sanitary towel avoids the soiling of clothing and bedding.
Special Notes: Albothyl brings about stimulation of the healing process. There is no reason to be anxious when necrotic tissue, even in large quantities, is sloughed from the diseased area.
Like every other vaginal medicament, Albothyl should not be used during menstruation.
The patient must not wash with irritant soaps or have sexual intercourse during the treatment period.
Keep the eyes protected from Albothyl.
After contact with Albothyl, all textiles and leather should be rinsed with water before the preparation has had time to dry.
Immediately after use, all instruments, etc should be kept in a basin of water (if possible, with the addition of 1-2% sodium bicarbonate) until sterilisation.
The flecked appearance of the vaginal suppositories is due to the natural appearance of the suppository base, and has no effect on its applicability, effectiveness or tolerability.
Suppositories are not indicated for use in children and adolescents <18 years or in postmenopausal women, as to date there is no experience in these age groups.
In case of contact with Albothyl suppositories, the eyes must be thoroughly rinsed out at once with water, it may be necessary to consult an ophthalmologist.
