About Candid-CL Vaginal Suppository

Candid-CL Vaginal Suppository is used to treat vaginal infections caused by bacteria (bacterial vaginosis), yeast infection (candidiasis) and parasitic infections (trichomoniasis). Bacterial vaginosis is caused by the change in the normal balance of vaginal bacteria. Vaginal yeast infection or Candidiasis is the infection of the vagina and tissues at the opening of the vagina (vulva). Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite. Symptoms of a vaginal infection include itching, odour and abnormal heavy white discharge from the vagina.

Candid-CL Vaginal Suppository comprises two medicines, namely: 'Clindamycin' (antibiotic) and 'Clotrimazole' (antifungal). Clindamycin belongs to the lincomycin antibiotic group that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which is required for the survival of the bacteria. As a result, it inhibits bacterial growth but does not kill them (bacteriostatic effect). On the other hand, Clotrimazole belongs to the imidazole antifungal group, which kills fungi by causing holes in their cell membrane, thereby leaking all content out. 

Use Candid-CL Vaginal Suppository as suggested by your doctor. Common side effects of Candid-CL Vaginal Suppository include a burning sensation, irritation and itching. These side effects may not occur in every patient using this medication and differ individually. If the side effects persist longer or worsen, please seek a doctor's advice.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Candid-CL Vaginal Suppository or any of its components. Let your doctor know if you have any liver, kidney and gastrointestinal diseases (diarrhoea and colitis, an inflammation of the colon), allergic conditions (asthma, hay fever, eczema), diabetes and immune system problems (HIV-AIDS). Clotrimazole in Candid-CL Vaginal Suppository may weaken rubber products' activities of contraceptive devices, latex condoms, diaphragms and cervical caps. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before using Candid-CL Vaginal Suppository.
