Description

Gynosporin 500mg is a single-dose antifungal vaginal tablet manufactured by NABIQASIM Industries, formulated with Clotrimazole. It works by disrupting the cell membrane of fungal organisms, effectively stopping their growth and clearing the infection. This convenient single-dose formulation offers an effective treatment option for vaginal yeast infections, providing symptom relief without the need for a multi-day course.

Ingredients

Each vaginal tablet of Gynosporin contains:

• Clotrimazole – 500mg (an imidazole antifungal agent)

Dosage Form

Gynosporin 500mg is available as a vaginal tablet (pessary), supplied as a single tablet per pack along with an applicator for insertion.

Uses

Gynosporin 500mg is commonly used for:

• Vaginal candidiasis (vaginal yeast infection)
• Vulvovaginitis caused by susceptible fungal organisms
• Fungal infections of the female genital tract requiring single-dose treatment

How to Use

Gynosporin should be used exactly as directed by a registered physician or as per the product label, typically inserted deep into the vagina once, preferably at bedtime, using the applicator provided. Wash your hands before and after insertion. It is recommended to remain lying down for a few minutes after insertion to allow the tablet to dissolve properly and minimize leakage. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment, and consult your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen after a few days.

Side Effects

Gynosporin is generally well tolerated, but some individuals may experience:

• Local irritation, burning, or itching at the site of application
• Vaginal redness or swelling
• Mild pelvic discomfort
• Headache

Seek medical attention if you experience severe irritation, a rash, or signs of an allergic reaction such as significant swelling or difficulty breathing.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Gynosporin should only be used during pregnancy under medical supervision, as vaginal Clotrimazole is generally considered to have a reasonable safety profile in later stages of pregnancy, though a doctor’s guidance is essential, particularly avoiding the use of an applicator in certain trimesters. It is generally considered compatible with breastfeeding, but consulting a physician before use is still advised.

Storage Instructions

Store Gynosporin vaginal tablets below 30°C in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tablet in its original packaging until use, and store it out of reach of children.
