Biofanal® vaginal tablets for vaginal thrush

Biofanal® vaginal tablets are a specific anti-yeast agent used to treat yeast infections in the vagina.The active ingredient in these vaginal tablets is nystatin.No prescription is required for this product.

Fungi as pathogens

Fungi are normally present on human skin and mucous membranes.A fungal infection only occurs when it multiplies excessively.In the case of a vaginal yeast infection, also known as vulvovaginal candidiasis, the most common pathogen is Candida albicans, a yeast that can cause various infectious diseases.

The risk factors

An excessive proliferation of pathogens, which leads to vaginal thrush, is promoted by a disruption of the healthy vaginal flora.Factors that promote this include hormonal changes such as during pregnancy, menopause or taking the pill.A weakened immune system, therapies with antibiotics or corticosteroids, diseases such as diabetes mellitus, stress and excessive intimate hygiene can also play a role.

Symptoms of vaginal thrush

A vaginal yeast infection manifests itself through itching and burning in the genital area.Redness and swelling may also occur, and a yellowish-white, crumbly discharge is often observed.

Effective treatment

Vaginal thrush is unpleasant, but can be easily treated with antifungal agents, so-called antimycotics.In applied doses, these have a fungistatic, i.e. growth-inhibiting, effect, or fungistatic and additionally fungicidal, i.e. fungicidal effect.Nystatin is a fungicidal active ingredient.

Advantages of Biofanal®

Biofanal® offers several advantages:

It contains the biological active ingredient nystatin, which has a specific effect against yeast fungi and protects the physiological vaginal flora.Biofanal® has both fungistatic and fungicidal effects, i.e. against growing and dormant fungal cells.Despite decades of use, nystatin has a favorable resistance status.The active ingredient is not absorbed, has a local effect and has no interactions with other drugs.Biofanal® is also the drug of choice during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

How does nystatin work?
