Gynozol 400 Mg Vaginal Suppository

Gynozol 400 Mg Vaginal Suppository

Description:

Gynozol 400 mg vaginal suppository is a prescription antifungal medicine used for the local treatment of vaginal yeast infections (vulvovaginal candidiasis). It contains miconazole, an imidazole derivative with broad-spectrum antifungal activity, formulated as vaginal ovules for direct application inside the vagina. By acting directly at the site of infection, Gynozol helps relieve itching, burning, abnormal discharge, and discomfort caused by Candida overgrowth, supporting intimate health and hygiene in adult women.

Indications:

• Treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis (vaginal yeast infection) caused by Candida species.
• Relief of symptoms associated with vaginal fungal infection such as itching, burning, redness, irritation, and soreness in the vulvovaginal area.
• Helps reduce abnormal thick, white, or curd-like vaginal discharge associated with candidal infections.
• May be used as directed by a physician in recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis as part of a treatment plan.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Miconazole – 400 mg per vaginal suppository (ovule).
• Excipients: The full list of inactive ingredients (base and stabilizers) is not available in the provided information. Refer to the package leaflet for complete composition.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Usual adult dose (as commonly used for 400 mg miconazole ovules): Insert 1 vaginal suppository (400 mg) deeply into the vagina once daily, preferably at bedtime, for the duration prescribed by your doctor. Typical courses may be 3 days, but always follow your physician’s exact instructions.
• Use only intravaginally. Do not swallow.
• Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before and after use.
• Best used while lying on your back with knees slightly bent; gently insert the ovule as deeply as comfortable into the vagina.
• For best results, use at night to reduce leakage and allow prolonged contact with the vaginal mucosa.
• Continue the full course even if symptoms improve earlier, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• A sanitary pad may be used to protect underwear from possible leakage; do not use tampons during treatment.
• Avoid vaginal douching, spermicides, or other intravaginal products during treatment unless directed by your doctor.
• If a dose is missed, insert it as soon as you remember on the same day. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular schedule. Do not use a double dose.
• Use only under medical supervision in pregnant women, especially during the first trimester.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides targeted antifungal action directly at the site of infection, helping to eradicate Candida species responsible for vulvovaginal candidiasis.
• Helps relieve key symptoms of vaginal yeast infection, including itching, burning, redness, irritation, and discomfort.
• Reduces abnormal vaginal discharge associated with fungal overgrowth, supporting vaginal comfort and hygiene.
• Once-daily intravaginal dosing improves convenience and adherence to treatment compared with multiple daily applications of topical products.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to miconazole, other imidazole antifungals, or any component of the formulation.
• For intravaginal use only. Do not ingest or use in the eyes, mouth, or on open wounds.
• Use with caution in pregnant or breastfeeding women; always consult your doctor before use. Vaginal products in pregnancy should be used only if clearly needed and under medical supervision.
• Consult your doctor if this is your first vaginal infection, if you are under 16 or over 60 years, or if you have recurrent infections (four or more episodes in one year).
• Seek medical advice if symptoms do not improve within a few days of treatment, worsen, or recur shortly after completing therapy.
• Do not use if you have fever, lower abdominal pain, back pain, foul-smelling discharge, blood-stained discharge, nausea, vomiting, or associated urinary symptoms (painful urination) without medical evaluation, as these may indicate a more serious condition.
• Miconazole may interact with some systemic medications if significant absorption occurs; inform your doctor about all medicines you are taking, especially oral anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin) or other drugs metabolized via cytochrome P450 enzymes.
• Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment or use barrier protection, as infection may be transmitted and the product may weaken latex condoms or diaphragms.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common local side effects may include mild burning, stinging, irritation, itching, or redness in the vaginal area, especially at the beginning of treatment.
• Less common effects may include pelvic cramps, vaginal discomfort, or increased vaginal discharge.
• Allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, severe itching, or difficulty breathing are rare but serious; discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
