A drug useful for the treatment of vaginal infections.
Indications
Meclon Cream acts on vaginal infections, particularly those caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, also associated with Candida albicans, Gardnerella vaginalis, and other sensitive bacterial flora. Meclon vaginal cream can also be used on the partner for prophylactic purposes.
It is useful in cases of:
- cervicitis;
- cervicovaginitis;
- vaginitis and vulvovaginitis;
- candidiasis.
Cervicitis is an inflammation of the cervix that 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 that manifests itself with clear, foul-smelling discharge, burning, itching, and pain during sexual intercourse. It can be caused by poor intimate hygiene, Trichomonas, Candida, or be sexually transmitted.
Composition
100 g of Meclon Vaginal Cream contains:
Active ingredients: Metronidazole 20 g; Clotrimazole 4 g.
Excipients: Glycol and polyethylene glycol stearate; Liquid paraffin; Sodium methyl p-hydroxybenzoate; Sodium propyl p-hydroxybenzoate; Purified water.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active ingredients or to any of the excipients.
Dosage and Directions for Use
After filling an applicator with cream, administer the cream vaginally by pressing the piston until completely empty, once a day for at least six consecutive days, preferably in the evening before bedtime, or as prescribed by your doctor.
In trichomoniasis, greater certainty of therapeutic results is achieved with the simultaneous use of oral metronidazole in both non-pregnant women and their male partners. For optimal administration, a supine position is recommended, with the legs slightly bent at an angle. For better sterilization, it is preferable to also spread a small amount of Meclon vaginal cream externally, around the vulvar and perianal areas.
If your doctor prescribes prophylactic treatment for your partner, the cream should be applied to the glans penis and foreskin for at least six days.
Warnings and Precautions
Avoid contact with eyes. The recommended concomitant use of oral metronidazole is subject to the contraindications, side effects, and warnings described for the above-mentioned product.
Avoid treatment during menstruation.
Keep this medicine out of the reach and sight of children.
Interactions
Meclon vaginal cream for candidiasis is generally well-tolerated and has no known interactions with other medications.
