About ZALAIN PESSARY

ZALAIN PESSARY belongs to the class of antifungal drugs used to treat vaginal infections caused by fungi, specifically vaginal candidiasis (yeast infections). Vaginal candidiasis is a yeast infection that results from Candida overgrowth in the vagina, causing itching, burning, swelling, and thick white discharge.

ZALAIN PESSARY contains Sertaconazole, which belongs to the imidazole class of antifungal medicines. It works by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. This disrupts membrane integrity, leading to fungal cell death and the restoration of a healthy vaginal environment.

ZALAIN PESSARY is intended for vaginal use only. Common side effects may include vaginal pain, soreness, burning, irritation, itching, swelling, redness, and dryness. These effects are usually mild and tend to resolve independently over time. However, consult your doctor for further guidance if they persist or worsen.

Inform your doctor if you have any allergies to the ingredients in ZALAIN PESSARY. It is essential to discuss any existing infections before using this medication. Additionally, let your doctor know if you have liver or kidney disorders. If you are pregnant or nursing, inform your doctor before use. Consult a doctor before administering ZALAIN PESSARY to children under 12 years of age.
