I have vaginal odor. Please suggest some medication.
Dr Bayyarapu Kumar

Vaginal odour can have several causes, such as bacterial or yeast infections, and the proper treatment depends on identifying the exact reason. It’s best not to take medication on your own, as this may not address the underlying issue. The safest step is to consult a doctor or a gynaecologist for an examination and tests. In the meantime, maintaining good hygiene, wearing cotton underwear, and avoiding harsh soaps or douching can help reduce discomfort, but seeking proper medical advice before starting any treatment is essential.
How do I use Clingen Vaginal Suppositories?
Dr S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
Clingen Vaginal Suppositories are for vaginal use only. Use them once daily at bedtime, as directed by your doctor or as instructed on the label. Wash your hands and gently insert one suppository deep into the vagina using the applicator or your finger. After use, remove the applicator and wash it thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Complete the full course even if symptoms improve, and avoid using tampons or having sexual intercourse during treatment.
Do I need to restart the 7-day course of Clingen after my period if I stopped it?
Dr S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
You should complete the remaining doses of Clingen (Clindamycin and Clotrimazole) as soon as your period ends rather than restarting the course. Completing the full 7-day treatment is essential to fully treat the infection and prevent it from returning or causing antibiotic resistance. Please consult your doctor for guidance.
What are the results of Clingen Vaginal Suppositories for subjective and objective parameters?
Dr Bayyarapu Kumar
M Pharmacy
Clingen Vaginal Suppositories, which combine Clindamycin (100 mg) and Clotrimazole (100 mg), effectively treat mixed vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis (BV) and vaginal candidiasis. Subjectively, patients report improvements in symptoms such as reduced vaginal odor, itching, discharge, and irritation. Objectively, clinical outcomes include normalisation of vaginal pH, reduction in pathogenic bacteria (e.g., Gardnerella vaginalis), and decreased Candida species, as confirmed by culture and microscopic examination. These findings suggest Clingen V6 is effective for treating both bacterial and fungal infections. However, individual responses may vary due to factors like age, medical history, and other medications.
