Fentin Vaginal Capsule 1

Fentin Vaginal Capsule is used for the following purposes:

• Management of vulvovaginal candidiasis: This refers to a yeast infection in the vagina and vulva, often caused due to Candida species.

• Relief from symptoms associated with vaginal yeast infections: These can include discomfort such as itching, burning, and redness in the vaginal area.

• Reduction of abnormal vaginal discharge: This includes "cottage cheese-like" discharge often seen in vaginal yeast infections.

• Alleviating pain during intercourse or urination: This pain is often a symptom of a vaginal yeast infection.

To correctly use Fentin Vaginal Capsule, please follow these instructions:

• Insert the capsule deep into the vagina at bedtime.

• Ensure you wash your hands both before and after insertion.

• Use an applicator or clean finger to insert the capsule as far as comfortably possible.

• It's vital to use the medicine for the full duration of 3 days, even if symptoms improve.

• Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment as it may reduce the effectiveness of Fentin.

• Do not use this medicine during menstruation. For specific advice, consult your doctor.

Fentin Vaginal Capsule is inserted into the vagina.

Fentin Vaginal Capsule contains fenticonazole (600 mg). Here's how fenticonazole works in your body:

• Inhibits Ergosterol Synthesis: Fenticonazole blocks an enzyme called lanosterol 14α-demethylase that helps convert lanosterol into ergosterol - a key component of the fungal cell membrane.

• Disrupt Fungal Cell Membrane: By inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, fenticonazole causes a buildup of 14α-methylated sterols in the fungal membrane. This increases its permeability and leads to leakage of cellular contents - disrupting the structure and function of the fungal cell membrane.

By doing so, fenticonazole effectively inhibits fungal growth and replication - managing yeast infections caused by Candida species.

• Store Fentin Vaginal Capsule in a closed container at room temperature, between 15-30°C.

• Keep the medicine away from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Remember to use Fentin Vaginal Capsule before the expiry date marked on the packaging.

• Maintain good personal hygiene, particularly in the vaginal area, as this can help manage vulvovaginal candidiasis, the condition Fentin Vaginal Capsule aims to manage. Regularly washing with mild soap and water can help prevent the growth of yeast.

• Consider incorporating probiotics into your diet. Foods such as yoghurt contain live bacteria which can help restore the natural balance of yeast in your body, managing candida overgrowth. Always consult your doctor before making any dietary changes.
