Gyno Mikozal 400 mg 3 ov
DESCRIPTION
Gyno-Mikozal 400 mg Vaginal Ovules is a targeted gynecological antifungal medication indicated for the short-course treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis (vaginal yeast infections) and associated superinfections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. Powered by Miconazole Nitrate (400 mg), a synthetic imidazole derivative, it inhibits the fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme. This action halts the conversion of lanosterol into ergosterol, disrupting fungal membrane integrity, increasing permeability, and precipitating fungal cell lysis. Formulated in a bio-adhesive, smooth-melting suppository base, it delivers high local tissue concentrations with negligible systemic absorption, packaged in a blister strip containing 3 vaginal ovules.
