How should I use GYNOL II?

To prevent pregnancy, it is very important that this product be used properly. These products are used in the vagina and must be applied before sexual contact begins. Do not use in the rectum. Make sure you carefully read and follow the instructions that come with the product. Reapply prior to each episode of sexual intercourse.

If you are using nonoxynol-9 containing products with latex cervical caps, condoms, or diaphragms, make sure the product is labeled as safe for use with latex products. If not, this may cause the cervical cap, condom, or diaphragm to weaken or even break. If leakage or breakage occurs during intercourse, additional spermicide may be inserted into the vagina. Other products that can weaken latex include hand, face, or body cream; petroleum jelly; cooking oils or shortenings; and baby oil. These are oil-based products and should not be used as lubricants. Instead, use a water-based lubricant that is safe for use with cervical caps, condoms, or diaphragms.

Talk to your pediatrician regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.

Overdosage: If you think you have taken too much of GYNOL II contact a poison control center or emergency room at once. NOTE: GYNOL II is only for you. Do not share GYNOL II with others.

What if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses.
