Brief Answer:
Need to insert another one after 12 hrs.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Thanks for writing to us.

If suppository capsule (SUSTEN) comes out from vagina very quiickly, then you should insert another one after 12 hrs to get effective result.

It should be melted fully for better absorption. Just 10-15% melting is NOT effective in this case.

Hope, I have answered your query. Wish your good health and successful motherhood.
