Gyno-Tiocosid Pessary 100mg x3

Gyno-Tiocosid Pessary is a topical antifungal medication designed to provide targeted relief from fungal infections. This pessary contains tioconazole, an active ingredient from the imidazole class, known for its potent antifungal properties.

Uses

• Vaginal candidiasis (fungal infection of the vagina)
• Dermatophytosis (fungal infections of the groin and external genital area)

Benefits

• Targeted delivery of antifungal medication to the affected area
• Effectively treats vaginal candidiasis and associated symptoms
• Provides relief from itching, redness, burning, and discomfort
• Clears persistent fungal infections of the genital and groin area

Mechanism of Action

 Tioconazole, the active ingredient in Gyno-Tiocosid Pessary, works by inhibiting the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, a crucial component of the fungal cell wall. This process, known as demethylation, occurs in the presence of the enzyme cytochrome P450. By disrupting this process, tioconazole increases cellular permeability, leading to the eventual death of the fungal cell.

Dosage

• Vaginal candidiasis: One pessary inserted into the vagina once daily at bedtime for 3 consecutive nights.
• Dermatophytosis of the groin and external genital area: Topical application of the pessary to the affected area once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare professional.

Warning

• Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any underlying medical conditions.
• Discontinue use and seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen, or if new symptoms develop.
• Avoid vaginal intercourse during treatment for vaginal candidiasis.
