What is Mycoten Vaginal Tablets?
Mycoten Vaginal Tablets are an effective antifungal treatment manufactured by Drugfield Pharmaceuticals Ltd in Nigeria. They are specifically formulated to treat vaginal candidiasis, commonly referred to as a "toilet infection" or yeast infection. The tablets provide relief from symptoms such as vaginal itching, burning sensations, and abnormal discharge.
Key Ingredients
Each Mycoten vaginal tablet contains Clotrimazole (100mg). This active ingredient works by disrupting the cell membrane of the fungus, effectively stopping the infection from spreading and allowing the body to heal.
How to Use Mycoten Vaginal Tablets
For the best results, Mycoten should be used as a "vaginal insert" (pessary).
- Wash your hands thoroughly before and after use.
- Using the applicator provided in the pack, insert one tablet deep into the vagina, preferably at bedtime.
- Continue the treatment for the full 6-day course, even if your symptoms improve sooner.
- Avoid using tampons or douching while using this medication.
Precautions & Pregnancy
- Can a pregnant woman take Mycoten? You should consult your doctor or a GoMed pharmacist before using Mycoten if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- If symptoms persist after the full course, please seek medical advice.
- Avoid sexual intercourse during the treatment period as the infection can be transmitted.
Side Effects
While Mycoten is generally well-tolerated, some users may experience a temporary "pepperish" or burning sensation upon insertion. Other mild side effects may include local irritation or redness. If you experience severe allergic reactions, discontinue use and contact a healthcare professional immediately.
