Clotrimazole 500mg Vaginal Tablet for Vaginal Thrush.

Clotrimazole 500mg vaginal tablet is a single application treatment for vaginal thrush (candidal vaginitis). This medication contains clotrimazole, an anti-fungal agent that fights fungal infections. It is specifically designed to be inserted into the vagina at night, using the provided applicator, to treat the infection directly at the site.

What You Need to Know:

• Use: Only use this product if you have been previously diagnosed by your doctor with vaginal thrush.
• Contraindications: Do not use if you are allergic to clotrimazole, azoles, or any of the other ingredients. Avoid using during your period as it may be less effective.
• Precautions: Consult your doctor if you are unsure whether you have thrush, have had more than 2 infections in the last 6 months, or if you or your partner have ever had a sexually transmitted disease. Also, seek medical advice if you are under 16 or over 60 years old, have irregular vaginal bleeding, abnormal vaginal bleeding or blood-stained discharge, vulval or vaginal ulcers, blisters, or sores, lower abdominal pain, dysuria, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or a foul-smelling vaginal discharge.

How to Use:

1. **Insertion:** Insert one vaginal tablet at night using the provided applicator.

2. **Symptoms:** Clotrimazole acts against fungi by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, which leads to structural and functional impairment of the fungal cytoplasmic membrane.

3. **Absorption:** Only a small amount of clotrimazole (3-10% of the dose) is absorbed, and it is rapidly metabolized into pharmacologically inactive metabolites, resulting in peak plasma levels less than 10 ng/ml up to 72 hours after application.

Important Information:

• Side Effects: There is no risk of acute intoxication from a single vaginal application. However, if you experience any adverse events such as redness, irritation, or swelling, or symptoms like fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or a foul-smelling vaginal discharge, seek medical advice.
• Duration of Treatment: Continue using the medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may result in a return of the infection.

Clotrimazole 500mg vaginal tablet is a reliable and effective treatment for vaginal thrush, providing quick relief from symptoms and promoting a healthy vaginal environment.
