Candicure 1 600 mg 3 vaginal suppositories

Trade name:

Candicure

Candicur

Properties

The antifungal effect of isoconazole, as a polyene antibiotic, is due to a violation of the integrity of the fungal cell membrane, but the mechanism of action is different. The drug disrupts the synthesis of ergosterol, the main structural component of the cell membrane of fungi. The effect is associated with inhibition of cytochrome P450-dependent enzymes, incl. 14-alpha-demethylase (catalyses the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol), which leads to disruption of the synthesis of ergosterol in the fungal cell membrane.

Indications

— fungal infections of the vagina, incl. mixed infections caused by gram-positive bacteria.

Dosage and administration

Intravaginally. A vaginal suppository is inserted deep into the vagina. It is best to do this in the supine position, in the evening, just before bedtime, 1 time / day once. For ease of insertion, the included fingertips should be used. Treatment should not be carried out during menstruation.
