How should I use miconazole buccal?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not use this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
The usual dose of this medicine is one tablet each morning for 14 days in a row.
Brush your teeth before putting in a buccal tablet. Make sure your hands are dry before handling the tablet.
The miconazole buccal tablet should be placed against your upper gum, just above your incisor tooth. Incisor teeth are located on the right and left sides of your two front teeth.
Place the rounded side of the tablet against your gum. Close your mouth and press your finger gently against the side of your cheek for 30 seconds to make sure the tablet stays in place.
Do not chew or swallow the buccal tablet. Leave it in place until the next morning. Avoid touching or pressing the tablet while it is in place.
You may eat and drink normally while the tablet is in place, but avoid chewing gum.
During the first 6 hours after placing a buccal tablet in your mouth, if the tablet comes loose try putting it back into place. If the tablet won’t stay in place, throw it away and put in a new tablet. If you accidentally swallow a tablet within the first 6 hours of wearing time, drink a full glass of water and put in a new tablet.
After the first 6 hours, if a tablet comes loose or you accidentally swallow it, do not put in a new tablet. Wait until the next morning to put in a new tablet.
If any pieces of the tablet remain in your mouth the next morning, rinse your mouth with water before using a new tablet.
Place the new tablet on the side of your upper gum that is opposite from the side you used the day before. Switch sides of your mouth each morning when using a new tablet.
Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve, or if they get worse.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
