What is Mycoten Vaginal Tablet?
Mycoten Vaginal Tablets (Clotrimazole 100mg) is a reliable antifungal medication specifically formulated for the treatment of vaginal infections. Manufactured by Drugfield Pharmaceuticals Ltd in Nigeria, Mycoten is a trusted local solution for women seeking relief from symptoms of vaginal candidiasis, often locally referred to as "toilet infection."
How Mycoten Works
The active ingredient, Clotrimazole, belongs to the imidazole class of antifungals. It works by disrupting the cell membranes of the fungi causing the infection, specifically Candida albicans. This action helps to eliminate the infection and provide relief from itching, burning, and unusual discharge.
How to Use Mycoten Insert with Applicator
For the best results, Mycoten tablets should be used exactly as directed by your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
- Wash your hands thoroughly before and after use.
- Place one tablet into the provided applicator.
- Insert the applicator deep into the vagina, preferably at bedtime while lying on your back with knees slightly bent.
- Gently press the plunger to release the tablet (insert).
- Clean the applicator with warm water and soap after each use.
The typical course of treatment is one tablet daily for six consecutive days. It is important to complete the full course even if symptoms disappear earlier to prevent the infection from returning.
How long does it take for Mycoten to work?
Most users notice a significant reduction in itching and burning within the first 24 to 48 hours. However, the infection is not fully cleared until the full 6-day treatment is completed. Do not stop early, even if you feel better.
Mycoten in Pregnancy
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor or a GoMed pharmacist before using Mycoten. While it is used for local treatment, professional medical guidance is necessary, especially when using an applicator during pregnancy.
Storage
Store Mycoten in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
