DOSAGE AND MODE OF ADMINISTRATION

Insert one vaginal suppository into the vagina for 7 nights.

Contraindications

Tri-V is contraindicated in patients hypersensitive to Miconazole, Metronidazole, or Lidocaine or their derivatives, during the first trimester of pregnancy, in cases of porphyria, epilepsy, and severe liver function disorders.

Warning and Precautions

Precautions:

• TRI-V vaginal suppositories should not be used in young people (girls) who are not sexually mature.
• Sexual partners of patients with Trichomonas vaginalis should be treated at the same time.
• Patients should be warned not to take alcohol during the therapy and for 3 days after the end of a course of treatment, because of the possibility of disulfram-like reactions.

PREGNANCY

The active ingredients can have a compromised action on fetus and newborn growth, hence people who need to administer the drug should avoid pregnancy with a proper birth control method.

ADVERSE EFFECTS.

The incidence of systemic side effects is very rare since after intravaginal administration of Metronidazole is very low. Miconazole nitrate can cause vaginal irritation (burning, itching). These symptoms may be prevented with the local anesthetic action of lidocaine.
