Gyno-daktarin

Gyno-Daktarin is a medication that treats vaginal yeast infections. The fungal infections often occur due to an overgrowth of Candida albicans.

It eliminates the fungus that causes yeast infections, reducing your symptoms.

After application, Gyno-Daktarin cream attacks the candida fungal cells, triggering holes in their cell membranes, thus killing them. In turn, this alleviates vaginal thrush symptoms.

Vaginal thrush can impact people differently, but the most common symptoms include:

White discharge that doesn't have a distinct odour

Vaginal itching and general irritation

Discomfort when urinating

Pain during sexual intercourse

Gyno-Daktarin contains miconazole nitrate, a powerful antifungal agent. It disrupts the cell membrane of your fungus, which kills them off and resolves the infection.

Please follow the instructions on the leaflet or those issued by a healthcare professional. Gyno-Daktarin comes with an applicator that ensures the cream is inserted into the vagina. You'll use it once daily for seven days unless your healthcare provider specifies otherwise.

If you miss a dose, apply it ASAP. However, if it's closer to your next dose, then you can skip the missed one and continue with the regular schedule. It's important to avoid doubling up on your dose.

Yes, using it during your period is usually not an issue, but inserting the applicator during your period can be more challenging if you experience heavy bleeding.

It typically works within seven days. Usually, you must take Gyno-Daktarin for seven days to relieve vaginal thrush. Even if you notice an improvement in your symptoms, continue using Gyno-Daktarin to prevent vaginal thrush from returning.

However, if your symptoms don't improve within seven days, contact your GP or pharmacist for guidance.
