How should I use Cleocin Vaginal Cream (Clindamycin)?

Cleocin Vaginal Cream (Clindamycin) is normally applied once daily for a cycle of medication lasting one or two weeks, but your individual dosage will depend on your current health condition and the severity of your symptoms. To administer the cream, use the included applicator to collect the prescribed amount of medication, insert it into the vagina, and press the plunger to dispense the dose. Never stop using the medication before being instructed to do so, even if your symptoms have disappeared, as the infection may not be gone and can return stronger or more resistant to treatment. Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water before and after each application to prevent the medication from contacting other areas not being treated. Keep the cream from contacting any other mucous membranes including the eyes, mouth, or ears as this may cause unexpected health problems. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you have any questions about the medication to ensure the correct administration.
