METRONIDAZOLE+MICONAZOLE is used to treat vaginal infections. Vaginal infection is the infection of the vagina and vulva (tissue at the opening of the vagina), which occurs due to the overgrowth of bacteria and fungi. Vaginal infection can cause inflammation, itchiness, thick discharge, change in colour of the discharge, burning sensation or pain during urination.
METRONIDAZOLE+MICONAZOLE is a combination of two drugs, namely: Metronidazole (antibiotic) and Miconazole (anti-fungal). Metronidazole kills bacteria by damaging their DNA. Miconazole works by preventing the formation of fungal protective covering, thereby stops the growth of fungi. Together, METRONIDAZOLE+MICONAZOLE helps in treating vaginal infections.
In some cases, you may experience common side-effects such as itching, irritation, headache, dizziness, and stomach upset. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
Let your doctor know if you are taking anti-fungal or antibiotic medicines. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not use METRONIDAZOLE+MICONAZOLE in more than prescribed doses or for a longer duration unless prescribed by the doctor. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines you are taking to rule out any side effects.
