Gyno-Travogen

The information on this product's packaging is Turkish language only.

Uses
Gyno-Travogen (Isoconazole Nitrate) is used to treat vaginal fungal or yeast infections, such as thrush (candidiasis). It works by killing the cells of the fungi. The main ingredient in this medicine is a type of azole antifungal, and it is said to be a derivative of imidazole. Its mechanism of action is attaching to the fungal cell membranes and blocking the production of ergosterol, a type of sterol that the fungi require in order to survive. As a result of this, cell membrane production is not possible, and the fungal cells are killed. Infections caused by various yeasts, as well as dermatophytes and gram positive bacteria can be treated with this medicine.

Dosage and Administration
Gyno-Travogen (Isoconazole Nitrate) comes as an ovule (vaginal suppository) containing 600mg of the active ingredient. Doctors generally recommend its use as a single dose treatment, which is generally considered sufficient for the treatment of symptoms. It is administered by means of vaginal insertion. Patients are generally told to use it at night, before going to sleep. Follow the instructions provided by your doctor to ensure that it is applied properly. If your symptoms do not improve after using it, go back to your doctor. Further re-examination of your condition may be needed.
