CLODOC-V6 is a combination vaginal capsule used to treat vaginal infections, especially those caused by a mix of bacteria, fungi, and parasites. It is formulated with multiple active ingredients, including clotrimazole, clindamycin, tinidazole, and lactobacillus spores. Together, these components work to relieve itching, discharge, and discomfort by targeting the most common organisms that cause vaginal infections, while also restoring the natural balance of healthy bacteria in the vaginal area.
Mechanism of Action
Each ingredient in CLODOC-V6 plays a specific role in the treatment process:
-
Clotrimazole is an antifungal that interferes with the growth of fungal cells, particularly candida species, by damaging their cell membranes.
-
Clindamycin is an antibiotic that blocks protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria, effectively stopping their growth and reducing infection.
-
Tinidazole is an antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent that targets organisms like trichomonas and certain anaerobic bacteria by damaging their genetic material.
-
Lactobacillus spores help restore the natural flora of the vagina. They reintroduce beneficial bacteria that maintain the acidic environment needed to prevent overgrowth of harmful organisms.
Uses
CLODOC-V6 is used for:
-
Treatment of mixed vaginal infections, including those caused by candida, trichomonas, and bacterial vaginosis
-
Relief from symptoms such as vaginal itching, discharge, burning, and foul odour
