Fluomizin is an antiseptic treatment for bacterial vaginosis (BV). It targets the bacteria responsible for the infection, killing it so that your body can more quickly recover.
One tablet (10mg) should be inserted into the vagina every night, for 6 nights straight. You should complete the course even if symptoms disappear.
Fluomizin is often prescribed as an alternative if other medications (such as Dalacin) prove ineffective. If you are unsure what treatment is right for you, consult a doctor before ordering.
Bacterial vaginosis is a condition characterized by an infection of the vagina.
A woman’s vagina needs a delicate balance of bacteria, including the good bacteria lactobacilli. When there is a loss of lactobacilli and a growth of other harmful bacteria, symptoms like discharge and irritation will occur.
Fluomizin contains the active substance dequalinium chloride - an antiseptic and anti-infective. It works by attacking the negative bacteria cells, weakening the cell walls and preventing them from creating vital enzymes. This combined effect kills the bacteria and helps your vagina restore a natural balance.
As an antiseptic, Fluomizin differs from antibiotic treatments Dalacin (clindamycin) and Metronidazole. It will only treat conditions at their source. For BV, this means treatment should be inserted directly into the vagina.
