Introduction
After using Baofukang Suppositories, closely monitor your body's response. If severe itching occurs after administration and continues to worsen, or if accompanied by vaginal redness and swelling, abnormal discharge (such as curd-like secretion), or pain, it is not recommended to continue use. This may indicate an allergic reaction to the medication's ingredients or that the medication is inappropriate, leading to aggravated inflammation. Continuing use may increase discomfort and even trigger new infections. Discontinue the medication immediately.

Generally, if mild itching occurs after using Baofukang Suppositories with no other discomfort and is in the early stage of treatment, continued use may be acceptable. However, if the itching is severe or accompanied by redness and swelling, further use is not recommended. If in doubt, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider promptly. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If mild itching appears within 1–2 days of using the medication, and there is no vaginal redness or swelling, increased discharge, or burning sensation, continued use may be considered appropriate. Mild discomfort could result from initial irritation of the local mucosa by the drug or from ongoing inflammatory repair processes. Such symptoms typically subside gradually with continued use and do not interfere with treatment; maintaining good hygiene during this period is sufficient.

If intense itching develops after using the suppository, especially if it persists or worsens, or if it is accompanied by vaginal redness and swelling, abnormal discharge (e.g., curd-like), or pain, continued use is not advised. This may indicate an allergic reaction to one or more ingredients of the medication, or that the medication is inappropriate for the condition, potentially exacerbating inflammation. Continuing use may increase discomfort and even lead to new infections, so the medication should be discontinued immediately.

After using Baofukang Suppositories, closely monitor your body's response. If mild itching persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly. Always check the ingredient list before use, and inform your doctor of any history of allergies to ensure safe and effective treatment.
