Gynazole-1 is a prescription antifungal medication used to treat vaginal yeast infections. It contains the active ingredient butoconazole nitrate, which works by stopping the growth of the fungus that causes the infection.
This medication comes in the form of a single-dose vaginal cream that is inserted into the vagina using an applicator. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist on how to use Gynazole-1 properly. Typically, it is recommended to use the medication at bedtime for optimal results.
Common side effects of Gynazole-1 may include vaginal itching, burning, or irritation. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to contact your healthcare provider. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as severe allergic reactions may occur. If you experience symptoms such as rash, itching/swelling, dizziness, or trouble breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
It is important to inform your healthcare provider about any other medications or supplements you are taking before using Gynazole-1, as certain medications may interact with this antifungal. Additionally, it is not recommended to use tampons, douches, or other vaginal products while using Gynazole-1.
If you are experiencing symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection such as itching, burning, or unusual discharge, consult with your healthcare provider to determine if Gynazole-1 is the right treatment option for you. Remember to always follow the instructions provided and complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is properly treated.
