Precautions
Tioconazole is intended for intravaginal administration only. Administration of Tioconazole just prior to bedtime may be preferred. The Tioconazole ointment base may interact with rubber or latex products such as condoms; therefore, use of such products within 72 hours following treatment is not recommended.
Use in Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy: Pregnancy category C. Tioconazole should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
