A drug useful for the treatment of vaginal infections.
Indications
Meclon Vaginal Ovules act on vaginal infections, particularly those caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, also associated with Candida or with bacterial components. Therefore, it is useful in cases of:
- cervicitis;
- cervicovaginitis;
- vaginitis and vulvovaginitis;
- candidiasis.
Cervicitis is an inflammation that develops in the cervix and can be asymptomatic or present with vaginal discharge, bloody discharge after sexual intercourse, or painful urination. It is typically caused by sexually transmitted infections, changes in vaginal flora, or allergies (for example, to latex condoms).
Vaginitis is an infection characterized by clear, foul-smelling discharge, burning, itching, and pain during sexual intercourse. It can be caused by poor intimate hygiene, Trichomonas, Candida, or sexually transmitted.
