What is Gyno-Daktarin 400mg Ovule?
Gyno-Daktarin 400mg is a potent antifungal medication used to treat vulvovaginal candidiasis (vaginal thrush). Each pack contains 3 vaginal ovules, also commonly referred to as "inserts" or pessaries. It is formulated with 400mg of Miconazole nitrate, which works by destroying the fungal cells responsible for the infection.
Effective Relief for "Toilet Infection"
In Nigeria, vaginal yeast infections are often colloquially called "toilet infections." Gyno-Daktarin provides rapid relief from the uncomfortable symptoms associated with these infections, including:
- Persistent vaginal itching
- Soreness or redness
- Thick, white, "cottage cheese-like" discharge
- Burning sensation during urination or intercourse
How to Use Gyno-Daktarin Ovules
For the best results, one 400mg ovule should be inserted deeply into the vagina once daily at bedtime for three consecutive days.
- Wash your hands thoroughly before and after use.
- Remove the ovule from the packaging.
- Lie on your back with your knees drawn up.
- Insert the ovule as deeply as possible into the vagina using your finger or the provided applicator.
