Information about Clotrimazole AL 200 vaginal tablets

Clotrimazole AL 200 vaginal tablets are used to treat vaginal yeast infections.These can manifest themselves as discharge caused by fungi, inflammation of the vagina caused by fungi or superinfections with bacteria sensitive to clotrimazole.No prescription is required for this product.

Vaginal yeast infections are a common problem that affects many women.A disturbed balance in the vaginal environment can lead to fungi spreading easily in the warm, humid climate of the vagina.This leads to unpleasant symptoms such as swelling, burning and itching of the labia and vaginal mucosa.Women of childbearing age, during pregnancy and after menopause are particularly affected.

A short treatment with the antifungal clotrimazole AL 200 can often be enough to clear up the fungal infection within a few days.The medicine is well tolerated and the vaginal tablets can be easily inserted using the applicator provided.

Mode of action

Clotrimazole AL 200 vaginal tablets contain the active ingredient clotrimazole, which has been used successfully for years for the external treatment of fungal infections of the skin and vagina.The antifungal drug inhibits the growth of the fungus by attacking its cell membrane.This causes the membrane to leak, the fungus cannot multiply any further and eventually dies.In this way, vaginal fungi can be treated easily and well tolerated.

Application recommendation

Insert one clotrimazole AL 200 vaginal tablet as deeply as possible into the vagina once a day, preferably in the evening before going to bed, for three consecutive days.The vaginal tablets are applied into the vagina using the applicator provided, lying on your back with your legs slightly drawn up.Treatment should not be carried out during menstruation or should be completed before it begins.

If treatment is necessary during pregnancy on medical advice, it should be used without an applicator.Please wash your hands thoroughly before use.

Using the vaginal tablets with an applicator

1) Pull out the applicator plunger until it stops.Take a vaginal tablet from the pack and insert it into the applicator.

2) Lie on your back and carefully insert the applicator as deep into the vagina as possible.Pressing the plunger releases the vaginal tablet.

3) The applicator is intended for repeated use and should therefore be carefully cleaned under warm running (not boiling) water after each use.The piston is pulled out of the applicator past the stop and both parts are cleaned.Then dry the parts with a clean cloth and put the applicator back together.

Vaginal thrush during pregnancy

Pregnant women are more likely to be affected by vaginal thrush.During pregnancy, the estrogen level in the body rises sharply, which can lead to a change in the vaginal flora and promote a fungal infection.

Hormonal contraceptives

Hormonal contraceptives can change the hormonal balance and thus increase the risk of vaginal thrush.Women during menopause are also more susceptible to vaginal thrush due to hormonal fluctuations and changes in the vaginal environment.

Prevent vaginal thrush

A healthy lifestyle with a balanced, fiber-rich diet, avoiding foods high in sugar and fat, getting enough sleep and regular exercise help the body maintain its protective mechanisms and ward off pathogens.
