Gynaemed Insert Vaginal Tablet (Clotrimazole) x6

Gynaemed Insert Vaginal Tablet contains Clotrimazole, an effective antifungal medication designed specifically for vaginal administration. This localized treatment targets and eliminates Candida fungi responsible for vaginal yeast infections while relieving associated symptoms.

Uses

Gynaemed Vaginal Tablet treats vaginal yeast infections (vulvovaginal candidiasis) caused by Candida species. It effectively addresses symptoms such as vaginal itching, burning, irritation, and abnormal discharge. The tablet may also be prescribed for prevention of recurrent vaginal yeast infections in susceptible women.

Benefits

• Provides direct treatment at infection site
• Relieves itching, burning, and irritation quickly
• Eliminates abnormal vaginal discharge
• Treats infections resistant to other treatments
• Restores normal vaginal flora
• Offers convenient single or short-course therapy
• Provides high cure rates for uncomplicated infections
• Causes minimal systemic absorption
• Effective against multiple Candida species

How It Works

Clotrimazole disrupts fungal cell membrane formation by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis. This action increases cell permeability, causing essential components to leak from the fungal cell, ultimately leading to cell death. The vaginal tablet dissolves in the vaginal canal, delivering medication directly to the infection site.

Dosage

Insert tablet deep into the vagina at bedtime using the provided applicator, following package instructions carefully.

Duration of Action

Gynaemed Insert begins relieving symptoms within 24-48 hours after the first dose. Complete symptom resolution typically occurs within 7 days. The medication continues working for several days after application. For optimal results, complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve.

Side Effects

Most women tolerate Gynaemed well. Some may experience mild burning, irritation, or itching upon application. Less common side effects include mild pelvic cramping, headache, or skin rash. Rarely, allergic reactions may occur. Discontinue use if severe irritation or sensitivity develops.

Warning

Do not use Gynaemed Insert if allergic to clotrimazole or other azole antifungals. This medication is for vaginal use only; avoid contact with eyes. Do not use tampons, douches, spermicides, or other vaginal products during treatment. Sexual activity should be avoided or partners should use condoms during the treatment period.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Gynaemed can be used during pregnancy when clearly needed, preferably after the first trimester and under healthcare provider supervision. The applicator may be used with caution during pregnancy. Clotrimazole is considered compatible with breastfeeding as minimal systemic absorption occurs.

Interaction

• May damage latex condoms and diaphragms
• Possible reduced effectiveness with vaginal douches
• No significant systemic drug interactions
• May interact with vaginal spermicides
• Potential decreased effectiveness with corticosteroid creams

Precaution

Consult healthcare provider before use if experiencing vaginal infection for the first time, having recurrent infections, fever, pain, or irregular vaginal bleeding. If symptoms persist after treatment completion or recur within two months, seek medical advice as another condition may be present. Maintain good personal hygiene during treatment.

Important Information

Gynaemed Insert treats only fungal infections and will not work for other types of vaginal infections. Complete the full course of treatment even if menstruation begins. To prevent reinfection, sexual partners may need simultaneous treatment. Store at room temperature away from moisture. Keep out of reach of children. Expire date on package should be observed.
