Hi & Welcome to HCM.

I appreciate your concern regarding the timing for taking FM3 Kit.


FM-3 Kit contains the following drugs used to treat vaginal infection.

The antibiotic Azithromycin (1 tab)
The amebicidal Ornidazole (2 tabs)
The antifungal Fluconazole (1 tab)

The treatment depends on the cause of infection.

Azithromycin (supposed to be PINK in color) is to be taken alone and rest ( supposed to be YELLOW in color) all together.

All the tablets in FM3 kit has to be taken in a single day.
Keep the private parts clean and dry, avoid sex, both the partners should be treated and use loose cotton undergarments.
Do not take this kit without confirming the diagnosis first.
The wrong medication can worsen your condition.
My advice is get examined by a gynecologist for proper clinical examination
and a vaginal swab and culture taken to confirm the exact infection type.
You will be then treated accordingly.

Hope to have answered your query.

A feed back is appreciated.
