Chi Gynocare Vaginal Ovules (12s)

Gynocare Vaginal Ovules are a potent "triple-action" antimicrobial treatment designed to combat various gynaecological infections. Marketed by CHI Pharmaceuticals Limited, these vaginal inserts are specifically formulated to target both bacterial and fungal pathogens, providing a comprehensive solution for discomfort.

What are Gynocare Ovules used for?

In Nigeria, Gynocare is a widely recognized remedy for what is locally termed "toilet infection"—a general description for symptoms like itching, unusual discharge, and vaginal irritation. It is clinically indicated for:

• Bacterial Vaginosis (BV): An imbalance in vaginal bacteria.
• Vaginal Candidiasis (Thrush): A yeast infection caused by Candida.
• Mixed Vaginal Infections: Conditions where both bacteria and fungi are present simultaneously.

Active Ingredients

Each Gynocare Ovule contains three active agents:

• Neomycin Sulfate (35,000 IU): An antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria.
• Polymyxin B Sulfate (35,000 IU): An antibiotic that targets bacterial cell membranes.
• Nystatin (100,000 IU): An antifungal agent effective against yeast cells.

This combination is equivalent to other global brands like Polygynax and provides a broad spectrum of treatment.

Does Gynocare Ovule Burn?

It is common to ask, "Does Gynocare burn after insertion?" or if it causes a "pepperish" sensation. While most women find the treatment comfortable, some may experience a mild, temporary warmth or burning sensation as the ovule dissolves. This is usually not a cause for alarm. However, if you experience severe pain or irritation, stop the treatment and contact a GoMed pharmacist for advice.

How to use Gynocare Ovules

For optimal results, follow these steps:

1. Hygiene: Wash your hands thoroughly before and after handling the ovule.
2. Timing: Insert one ovule deep into the vagina once daily, preferably at bedtime.
3. Application: Lie on your back with your knees pulled up to facilitate deep insertion.
4. Course Duration: Continue the treatment for the full duration (usually 6 to 12 days) even if your symptoms improve sooner.

Important Precautions

• Medical Consultation: Gynocare is a prescription-only medication (POM).
• Pregnancy: If you are pregnant, consult your doctor or a healthcare professional before using any vaginal insert.
• Product Verification: Ensure you are using the medicated ovules for infections and not the Gynocare herbal capsules or the pH-balancing version.

Note: Delivery is available in Lagos and other major cities across Nigeria.
