Women in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi are commonly prescribed this cream for bacterial vaginosis. A gynecologist usually confirms the diagnosis before starting treatment.

The cream is inserted at bedtime with the applicator included in the pack. Most courses last three to seven nights depending on the doctor's advice.

Sexual activity is usually avoided during treatment because the cream can weaken condoms and diaphragms. The full course should be finished even if symptoms clear up early.

• Other Vaginal Products: Using other vaginal creams, douches, or spermicides at the same time can reduce effectiveness.
• Erythromycin: This antibiotic can reduce the effectiveness of clindamycin when used together.
