Clindamycin + Clotrimazole + Tinidazole Softgel Capsules

Clindamycin + Clotrimazole + Tinidazole Softgel Capsules come with the branding “Clexigard Forte” and is used to treat vaginal infections caused by bacteria, yeast, and parasites. These infections include bacterial vaginosis (caused by changes in vaginal bacteria balance), yeast infection or candidiasis (affecting the vagina and vulva tissues), and trichomoniasis (a sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite). Common symptoms of vaginal infections include itching, unusual odor, and an abnormal heavy white discharge.

Clindamycin + Clotrimazole + Tinidazole Softgel Capsules contains three active ingredients: ‘Clindamycin’ (an antibiotic), ‘Clotrimazole’ (an antifungal), and ‘Tinidazole’ (an antibiotic/antiprotozoal). Clindamycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis necessary for bacterial survival. Tinidazole acts as an antibiotic/antiprotozoal, effectively killing amoeba and parasites. Clotrimazole, belonging to the imidazole antifungal group, eliminates fungi by creating holes in their cell membrane, causing leakage of cellular content. This combination medication provides a comprehensive approach to treating various types of vaginal infections.
