Vaginal Ovules 12 |
|
20742 | 7202 |
Dosage
1 Glovan ovule should be inserted 15-30 minutes prior to intercourse, as deep as possible into the vagina. If intercourse is repeated, another Glovan ovule should be inserted, in the same way.
If vaginal douching is desired, it should be delayed for 6 hours following intercourse, to avoid washing out the spermicidal protection.
If intercourse is delayed for more than an hour after insertion of the ovule, a new one should be used.
The ovule may be wetted with a little water to ease insertion and prevent irritation.
Indications
Spermicide contraceptive.
Contra-Indications
Known hypersensitivity to either of the components of the preparation.
Vaginal anesthesia, as in spinal cord injuries.
Pregnancy.

genitalia may occur occasionally. Urinary tract infection in females may also occur.
Overdose
If taken orally, the surfactant properties of this preparation may cause gastric
irritation. General supportive therapy should be carried out. Hepatic and renal
function should be monitored if medically indicated.
