Candifem Vaginal Cream

Product Overview

Candifem Vaginal Cream is a medication containing the active ingredients Miconazole and Ornidazole. It is specially formulated to treat vaginal infections caused by fungi and bacteria. This cream provides targeted relief for symptoms such as itching, burning, irritation, and abnormal vaginal discharge. Candifem Vaginal Cream is designed for external use in the vaginal area and offers effective and convenient treatment for various vaginal infections.

Uses

Candifem Vaginal Cream is indicated for the treatment of vaginal infections caused by fungal and bacterial pathogens, including yeast infections (vulvovaginal candidiasis) and bacterial vaginosis. These infections can result in uncomfortable symptoms such as itching, burning, redness, swelling, and abnormal discharge. Candifem Vaginal Cream helps alleviate these symptoms and promotes the resolution of the underlying infection, restoring vaginal health and comfort.

How to Use

Before using Candifem Vaginal Cream, thoroughly wash your hands and the vaginal area with mild soap and water. Remove the applicator from the packaging and fill it with the prescribed amount of cream. Gently insert the applicator into the vagina and slowly press the plunger to release the cream. Wash your hands again after application. Use Candifem Vaginal Cream as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once daily before bedtime for 7 to 14 days, depending on the severity of the infection.

How it Works

Candifem Vaginal Cream contains two active ingredients: Miconazole and Ornidazole. Miconazole is an antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. This disrupts the integrity of the fungal cell wall, leading to cell death and elimination of the infection. Ornidazole is an antibiotic with antiprotozoal activity that helps eradicate bacterial pathogens commonly associated with vaginal infections. Together, these ingredients provide broad-spectrum coverage against fungal and bacterial pathogens, effectively treating vaginal infections.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Candifem Vaginal Cream may vary depending on the type and severity of the vaginal infection. It is typically applied once daily, before bedtime, for 7 to 14 days. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist carefully. Do not exceed the prescribed dosage or duration of treatment without consulting your doctor. If symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment, seek medical advice promptly.

Benefits

Candifem Vaginal Cream offers several benefits in the treatment of vaginal infections. It provides targeted relief for symptoms such as itching, burning, and abnormal discharge, improving overall comfort and quality of life. By eradicating fungal and bacterial pathogens, Candifem Vaginal Cream helps resolve the underlying infection and prevents recurrence. Its convenient applicator ensures accurate dosing and easy administration, enhancing patient compliance with treatment.

Common Side Effects

Common side effects of Candifem Vaginal Cream may include mild vaginal irritation, burning, itching, or redness at the application site.
