Introduction
GYNAEMED Vaginal Tablets, containing clotrimazole as the active ingredient, are widely prescribed for the treatment of fungal and yeast infections in the vaginal area.
Vaginal infections, especially those caused by Candida albicans, can lead to itching, irritation, abnormal discharge, and discomfort.
GYNAEMED works effectively to relieve these symptoms by targeting the root cause of the infection.
Uses of GYNAEMED Vaginal Tablets
GYNAEMED Vaginal Tablets are primarily used for treating vaginal fungal infections. Common uses include:
- Treatment of vaginal candidiasis (yeast infection).
- Relief from itching, burning, and irritation caused by fungal infections.
- Reduction of abnormal vaginal discharge associated with yeast growth.
- Restoring vaginal comfort and preventing the recurrence of infections.
Ingredients of GYNAEMED Vaginal Tablets
The main ingredient in GYNAEMED Vaginal Tablets is:
Clotrimazole – an antifungal agent that works by targeting fungal cell membranes.
How GYNAEMED Vaginal Tablets Work
Clotrimazole, the active component of GYNAEMED, works by interfering with the production of ergosterol, an essential substance in the fungal cell wall.
Without ergosterol, the fungal cells become weak and leaky, leading to their death.
This process helps eliminate the infection, relieve symptoms, and restore vaginal health.
Unlike antibiotics, which target bacteria, clotrimazole specifically targets fungal growth, making it an effective antifungal treatment.
Dosage of GYNAEMED Vaginal Tablets
The dosage of GYNAEMED Vaginal Tablets depends on the severity of the infection and the recommendation of a healthcare provider. General guidelines include:
- Insertion method: The tablet should be inserted deep into the vagina, usually at bedtime, using the provided applicator.
- Treatment duration: Typically ranges from 3 to 7 days, depending on the strength of the tablet and severity of the infection.
- Follow-up: If symptoms persist beyond the prescribed period, medical advice should be sought.
Important: Always follow your doctor’s instructions. Do not stop treatment early, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence.
