GESTOFIT CAN BE USE EITHER VAGINALLY OR ORALLY.
with vaginal use the gastric side effects are less compared to oral route.
you have to insert the capsule inside the vagina with applicator .
if you dont feel comfortable by vaginal route you can take it orally.
some patients experience white discharge after vaginal use.
