To date, the pharmaceutical market offers a fairly large range of drugs aimed at treating diseases of the female reproductive system of fungal etiology. As a rule, they differ in the form of output, the manufacturer, the different composition and, of course, the price. Concerning the latter, the practice has repeatedly proven that high cost is far from a guarantee of quality and efficiency. A vivid example is the vaginal tablets Klotrimazol, which are widely used in gynecology at a very affordable price.
Vaginal tablets Clotrimazole - from thrush and not only
Clotrimazole vaginal (candles or tablets) is an effective remedy for fighting a large number of varieties of fungi. The spectrum of action of this synthetic agent is quite large: from candidiasis vulvovaginitis to trichomoniasis and other fungal diseases. It is also known that vaginal Klotrimazol tablets successfully cope with staphylococci, streptococci and many other representatives of pathogenic microflora, which are sensitive to the main component.
Clotrimazole vaginal, produced in the form of candles and tablets has several variations in the quantitative content of the active substance: one hundred, two hundred and five hundred milligrams. Dosage and duration of therapy is selected depending on the severity, the primary pathogen and the course of the disease, solely by the doctor.
How to use Clotrimazole?
Clotrimazole tablets are inserted into the vagina with a special applicator, which is attached to the package with the medicine. At the initial stages of the disease, one tablet is recommended overnight for six days. But, as a rule, the exact dosage and duration of admission is coordinated with the attending physician. It is forbidden to use the drug during menstruation, therefore, if treatment fell for this period, it must be discontinued.
Before surgery or childbirth as a prophylaxis of infection, many specialists practice the use of vaginal tablets Clotrimazole-acry. In this case, a single injection is sufficient.
Side effects and contraindications
The main contraindication is the use of vaginal tablets Clotrimazole during pregnancy, especially in the early stages. The second and third trimesters of pregnancy can be treated with vaginal tablets of Clotrimazole according to the doctor's prescription and strict supervision if necessary. If a decision was made about the advisability of using the drug, it is better for a pregnant woman to administer pills without an applicator and closely monitor their condition.
Contraindicated vaginal tablets Clotrimazole to persons with increased sensitivity to the main component and other components.
As for the side effects, here we can note the following unpleasant moments in the form of local reactions:
- pain in the lower abdomen;
- hyperemia of the mucosa;
- itching and burning;
- tingling;
- allergic reactions.
If the patient did not stop having sex during the treatment period, then her sexual partner may face similar symptoms. In general, the correct approach to treatment implies the rejection of sexual life for this period, as well as the passage of a course of therapy by both a woman and a man, in order to avoid re-infection.
Once again, we note that Clotrimazole can not be prescribed on its own, especially when the patient takes other medications, is in an interesting position or is susceptible to allergic reactions.
