What Is Candifem Vaginal Cream?
Candifem Vaginal Cream is a vaginal cream die miconazole + ornidazole. The active antifungal (imidazole family — clotrimazole, miconazole, etc.) inhibits fungal ergosterol synthesis, disrupting the cell membrane. Combination products also cover anaerobic bacteria (ornidazole, metronidazole) to address mixed or co-infections. Manufactured by Zydus Cadila.
Genitale herpes (eerste episode):
- Uncomplicated vulvovaginal candidiasis (single episode) — standard indication.
- Recurrent vaginal candidiasis (≥4 episodes/year) — topical azoles cycle-based, plus consider oral fluconazole.
- Mixed vaginitis — simultaneous yeast + bacterial vaginosis (combination with metronidazole/ornidazole).
- Trichomoniasis (depending on combination) — combination with metronidazole/ornidazole adds anaerobic cover.
- Vaginal candidiasis during pregnancy (selected topicals are preferred) — topical is first-line in pregnancy; oral fluconazole is category C and often avoided.
Hoe aan te brengen
- Wash hands. Fill the applicator to the prescribed mark (usually 5 g of cream).
- Lie on your back with knees bent. Insert the applicator into the vagina gently, press the plunger fully.
- Withdraw and wash the applicator with warm soapy water.
- Best time: bedtime — allows the cream to remain in contact overnight.
- Apply daily for 7 dagen (some products shorter courses). Complete the full course even if symptoms resolve.
- Apply a small amount externally to the vulva if external itch/inflammation is present.
- Avoid intercourse during treatment for best absorption and to avoid partner irritation.
- Be aware that topical antifungals can weaken latex condoms — use non-latex barriers or abstain.
Bijwerkingen
Common (local): transient vaginal burning, itching, or irritation at application — usually resolves within 1–2 days.
Minder vaak: vulvar erythema, contact dermatitis.
Zeldzaam: severe allergic reaction to the active or excipient.
Who Should Not Use Candifem Vaginal Cream
- Known hypersensitivity to imidazole antifungals or product excipients
- First trimester pregnancy (relative — discuss with clinician; many topicals are considered safe)
- Undiagnosed vaginal symptoms — confirm diagnosis first (Candida vs BV vs trichomoniasis have different first-line treatments)
- Children without clinical supervision
Opslag
Store at room temperature (15–25 °C). Do not refrigerate. Keep cap tightly closed. Keep out of reach of children.
Veelgestelde vragen
How fast will symptoms improve?
Itch and irritation usually improve within 24–48 hours of starting. Full symptom resolution by day 4–7. Complete the full 7-day course even if you feel better.
Do I need to treat my partner?
For uncomplicated yeast infection, no — Candida is usually not sexually transmitted in a meaningful way. If partner has balanitis symptoms, they can be treated separately. For mixed infections with trichomoniasis, partner treatment is essential.
Can I have sex while using Candifem Vaginal Cream?
Best to avoid during treatment — absorption is compromised and partner can experience irritation. If you do have sex, note that topical antifungals weaken latex condoms.
What if symptoms come back quickly?
Recurrent yeast (≥4 episodes/year) warrants oral fluconazole (150 mg weekly for 6 months) under clinician supervision. Also consider checking for diabetes, HIV, other immune factors.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Topical imidazoles (clotrimazole, miconazole) are generally considered safe in pregnancy, particularly after the first trimester. Topical is preferred over oral (fluconazole) during pregnancy.
Can I apply Candifem Vaginal Cream during my period?
Yes — but tampon use may absorb the cream. Use pads during treatment, or delay the course until after your period if possible.
What if itching actually gets worse?
Could be contact dermatitis from the cream itself, or wrong diagnosis (BV or trichomoniasis can mimic candidiasis). Stop and seek clinical review.
Do I need a clinician visit?
First episode of yeast: can often be managed without a visit. Recurrent or atypical symptoms (odour, discharge colour change, fever, pelvic pain): need clinical review + vaginal swabs.
