Clotrimazole + Lactobacillus + Tinidazole is a combination used to treat and manage vaginal infections.
Clotrimazole is an antifungal medicine. It inhibits the production of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell walls. This weakens the fungal cells, causing them to rupture and die, thus managing the fungal infection.
Lactobacillus are friendly bacteria naturally present in the vagina. They help by producing lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide, creating an acidic environment unfavourable for harmful microbes. Additionally, they secrete substances that hinder harmful bacteria from sticking to and multiplying on the vaginal walls.
Tinidazole is an antibacterial and antiprotozoal medication. It penetrates bacterial and parasitic cells, causing damage to their DNA and leading to the cell's death. It is effective against a wide variety of anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. Combined, these active ingredients work synergistically to manage vaginal infections caused by mixed microorganisms effectively.
