Further product information

Candibene® 200 mg Vaginal Tablets

Candibene® 200 mg Vaginal Tablets contain the active ingredient clotrimazole. Clotrimazole belongs to the group of antifungals and is effective against numerous fungi that can cause infections in the vaginal area.

The active ingredient inhibits the growth of fungi or can kill them. In addition, clotrimazole is effective against certain bacteria and some protozoa, including trichomonads.

Clotrimazole acts on the surface of the mucous membrane, rapidly penetrates the mucous membrane, and also reaches deeper layers of the mucous membrane. The vaginal tablets are colorless and odorless and are generally well tolerated.

Areas of application

Candibene® 200 mg Vaginal Tablets are used for:

• Infectious discharge caused by yeasts (Candida)

• Inflammation of the vagina caused by fungi, especially Candida species

• Inflammation of the vagina caused by trichomonads

• Superinfections with clotrimazole-sensitive bacteria in the presence of an existing infection

For the reliable treatment of a Trichomonas vaginalis infection, an additional medically prescribed treatment with a suitable antibiotic may be necessary.

If symptoms do not improve after 3 days or worsen, a doctor should be consulted.

Dosage and application

Unless otherwise prescribed:

• 1 vaginal tablet daily

• Apply in the evening before bedtime

• Duration of treatment: 3 consecutive days

The vaginal tablet is inserted as deeply as possible into the vagina using the enclosed applicator.

Instructions for use

The vaginal tablets require sufficient moisture to dissolve completely.

In the case of a diagnosed yeast infection of the glans and foreskin of the partner, he should also be treated with a suitable topical preparation.
