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

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

- 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.
