GINO-PEVARIL CANDLES 50MG

Mechanism of action

Antifungal medication.
Econazole nitrate has a wide spectrum of action and is active against dermatophytes, yeasts and mold fungi. It also has a clinically significant activity against gram-positive bacteria.
Econazole nitrate damages the cell membrane, which leads to an increase in the permeability of the fungal cell. The target of the action of econazole nitrate are the acyl groups of unsaturated fatty acids that make up membrane phospholipids.

After the introduction of econazole into the vagina, nitrate is absorbed to a small extent.

One suppository 50 mg is introduced deep into the vagina 1 time / day before going to bed for at least 14 days. It is necessary to conduct a full course of treatment, even despite the disappearance of subjective symptoms (itching, leukorrhea).
One suppository 150 mg injected deep into the vagina for 3 days. In the case of a relapse or a positive result of the culture, a second course of treatment is performed 1 week after the treatment.
