What is Dalacin Vaginal Cream?
Dalacin Vaginal Cream is an effective antibiotic treatment manufactured by Pfizer. It contains clindamycin phosphate (2%) and is specifically formulated to treat bacterial vaginosis (BV), often referred to locally in Nigeria as a "toilet infection".
How it Works
The active ingredient, Clindamycin, works by stopping the growth of bacteria that cause the infection. This 16.5g tube is typically used for a short, intensive treatment course to provide relief from symptoms like unusual discharge and odor.
How to Use Dalacin Vaginal Cream
- Dosage: One full applicator (approximately 5g) daily.
- Timing: Apply high into the vagina right before bedtime for 3 to 7 consecutive days, or as directed by your doctor.
- Method: Use the provided disposable applicators to ensure the correct dose is delivered.
Important Precautions
- Consult a Pharmacist: Always speak with a GoMed pharmacist if you have questions about your symptoms or how to use this product.
- Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this medication.
- Full Course: Complete the entire course of treatment even if symptoms improve quickly to prevent the infection from returning.
