Gyno-Travogen

Gyno-Travogen (Isoconazole Nitrate) is an antifungal treatment for vaginal thrush or yeast infections. Its mechanism of action is damaging the fungal cell membranes. The active ingredient in this product is classified as an azole antifungal, and it is effective against a wide range of different fungi, including the candida species. This type of fungus can infect the vagina, resulting in inflammation and a vaginal discharge.

Use of this medicine helps to eliminate the fungi by preventing them from producing a substance known as ergosterol, which is needed by the fungi to survive. Without ergosterol, holes start to form in the cell membrane which leads to the eventual destruction of the fungi. This in turn helps to relieve the symptoms of vaginal candidiasis and treat the infection. In some cases, patients have used this medicine for mixed infections involving gram positive bacteria.

Gyno-Travogen (Isoconazole Nitrate) is provided as a single ovule which is inserted into the vagina. The medicine content of the ovule is 600mg. Generally, it is used as a 1 day treatment. Your physician will most likely direct you to insert the suppository into the vagina in the evening, at bedtime. It may be easier for you to do this while lying down. A single dose is generally sufficient to treat the infection, however if your symptoms persist after treatment, ensure that you consult your physician, as re-examination and re-assessment of the condition may be needed.
