How to use Miconazole Tablet:
Before applying the tablet,
1. Locate the area on the upper gum, just above either the left or the right incisor. The incisor tooth is the tooth just to the right or left of your two front teeth.
2. Take one miconazole tablet out of the bottle. Miconazole is round on one side and flat on the other side. The tablet is marked with an “L” on the flat side.
Applying the miconazole tablet,
3. Place the flat side of the miconazole tablet on your dry fingertip. Gently push the rounded side of the tablet against your upper gum. Push the miconazole tablet up as high as it will go on your gum. The flat side will be facing the inside of your lip.
4. Hold the miconazole tablet in place by applying a slight pressure with your finger on the outside of your upper lip for 30 seconds. This will make the tablet stick to your gum.
5. Leave the tablet in place until it dissolves.
6. Before applying your next dose, be sure to clear away any remaining miconazole tablet material.
