Candazol 300 mg Sertaconazole Ovum relieves vaginal discomfort related to ailments.
Candazol 300 mg from the Besins Healthcare laboratory is a non-prescription medicine recommended to relieve vaginal mycoses such as candidiasis, conditions linked to the presence of microscopic fungi in the vaginal sphere. This pathology is most often manifested by itching in the vulva and vagina , causing a strong feeling of discomfort. It can also manifest itself in the form of whitish or yellowish discharge and give off an unpleasant odor.
The active ingredient of this medication is sertaconazole nitrate, dosed at 300 mg per egg, with excipients: solid hemisynthetic glycerides (WITEPSOL H19 and SUPPOCIRE NAI 50) and anhydrous colloidal silica.
The egg is inserted directly into the vagina for local treatment, preferably at bedtime.
Check with your doctor that you are not allergic or intolerant to the active molecule or to any of the excipients. On the other hand, the use of a soap with an acid pH is not recommended, given that it would promote the development of candidiasis.
