Introduction

Cloclinda-VT is a prescription medication that combines the active ingredients Clindamycin, Metronidazole, Clotrimazole, and Lactobacillus Sporogenes. It is commonly used to treat certain vaginal infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or parasites.

Uses

Cloclinda-VT is primarily prescribed for the treatment of vaginal infections, including bacterial vaginosis, vaginal yeast infections, and trichomoniasis. It helps to eliminate the harmful microorganisms causing the infection and restore a healthy balance of vaginal flora.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Cloclinda-VT is determined by your healthcare provider based on your specific condition and medical history. It is typically taken orally, with or without food.

Mechanism of Action

Cloclinda-VT contains Clindamycin, Metronidazole, Clotrimazole, and Lactobacillus Sporogenes, which work together to combat vaginal infections. Clindamycin and Metronidazole are both antibiotics that inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria and parasites. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that targets and eliminates fungal infections. Lactobacillus Sporogenes is a probiotic that helps restore the natural balance of beneficial bacteria in the vaginal area.

Serious side effects are rare but may include severe allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.

Cloclinda-VT may interact with certain medications, supplements, or herbal products. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, as well as any herbal supplements or vitamins.

Your doctor will be able to advise you on any potential drug interactions.
