Take out a suppository from the packaging box, separate the plastic film wrapped around the front and back of the suppository from the lower end and take it out for standby use. Be careful when pulling it apart to prevent it from popping off. Then take out a plastic finger cover from the box and put it on the index finger that will be used to insert the medication. At the same time, point the conical head of the suppository towards the vagina or anus, and gently insert it into the deep part of the vagina or anus with the finger covered with the finger cover.

When vaginal administration is used to treat trichomonas vaginitis, use one suppository of about 0.5 grams each time, once before bedtime every day, and the continuous treatment time is 7-10 days. After rectal administration, push the suppository into the anus, and pay attention to keeping the tail end of the suppository about 2 centimeters away from the anus. Use one suppository (0.5 grams) each time, but it should be used 2-3 times daily.
