About Candrea Vaginal Suppositories
Candrea Vaginal Suppositories belongs to the class of medications called 'topical antibiotics' primarily used to treat vaginal infections, caused by bacteria (bacterial vaginosis), yeast infection (candidiasis) and parasitic infections (trichomoniasis). Bacterial vaginosis is caused by the change in the normal balance of vaginal bacteria. Vaginal yeast infection or Candidiasis is the infection of the vagina and tissues at the opening of the vagina (vulva). Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite. Symptoms of a vaginal infection include itching, odour and abnormal heavy white discharge from the vagina.
Candrea Vaginal Suppositories comprises two medicines, namely: 'Clindamycin' (antibiotic) and 'Clotrimazole' (antifungal). Clindamycin belongs to lincomycin antibiotic group that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, required for the survival of the bacteria. As a result, it inhibits bacterial growth but does not kill them (bacteriostatic effect). On the other hand, Clotrimazole belongs to imidazoles antifungal group that kills fungi by causing holes in its cell membrane, thereby leaking all content out.
