CompositionVagi Cream is a vaginal cream used to treat vaginal infections that cause discharge, itching, irritation and discomfort, including yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis. It is a combination medicine containing clotrimazole (an antifungal that treats yeast infections) and tinidazole (an antimicrobial that treats bacterial and protozoal infections), and belongs to classes of medicines called azole antifungals and nitroimidazole antimicrobials.
This medicine works by damaging the outer layer of yeast cells and by interfering with the genetic material of the bacteria and protozoa that cause infection, which clears the organisms and eases discharge and itching. Apply it into the vagina exactly as your doctor directs, usually at bedtime, and complete the full course even if your symptoms improve quickly.
Keeping the genital area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton underwear, and avoiding perfumed soaps or douches can help prevent the infection returning while you use this treatment.
Before using this medicine, tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if you have had an allergic reaction to any antifungal medicine. This cream may weaken latex condoms and diaphragms, so ask your doctor about suitable protection during treatment.
