Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
One applicatorful (about 6g) intravaginally once or twice daily. Improvements in symptoms should occur within a few days, but treatment should be continued for a period of 30 days.
Route of Administration: Vaginal
In Vitro Use Guide
Antimicrobial activity of sulfanilamide was tested with different bacterial and yeast strains. MIC values were 8 ug/ml for Listeria innocua, Escherishia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa; 16 ug/ml for Staphylococcus aureu and Candida albicans; 100 ug/ml for Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium oxysporum culmorum.
