Brief Answer:
Not to be worried about.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

The leakage of some amount of gel is not a bothersome issue as most of it gets absorbed soon after application and moreover, as this is the final day of the course, the optimum dosage may have already been given.

Whenever you need to take any vaginal tablet or gel, please have the foot end elevated for a couple of hours after insertion so that you do not face such leakages.

Hope your query has been answered. Please feel free to contact for any more information. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.
