Detailed Information
Introduction
INTRODUCTIONFENTIDERM contains Fenticonazole which belongs to the group of medicines called Antifungals. It is used in adults and adolescents to manage genital candidiasis (fungal infection of the vagina and tissues at the opening of the vagina (vulva) that results in inflammation, intense itchiness, and a thick, white discharge from the vagina) and mixed vaginal infections (a change in the characteristics of vaginal discharge along with genital itching and burning pain). Fenticonazole works by interfering with the fungi cell membrane by inhibiting the production of a substance called ergosterol (a type of fat that provides the ability to flow easily to the cell membrane). This type of action prevents the growth of the fungi by forming holes in the membrane and helps in manageing vaginal fungal infections. Before using FENTIDERM, inform your doctor if you have or ever had abnormal or irregular vaginal bleeding, blood staining in the vaginal discharge, vulval or vaginal sores, ulcers or blisters, lower abdominal pain or dysuria (painful or difficult urination), using a latex made contraceptive method and a history of a sexually transmitted disease or exposure to partner with the sexually transmitted disease. FENTIDERM is generally not recommended for use in pregnant and breastfeeding women unless clearly advised by your doctor. FENTIDERM is not recommended for use in children and adolescents (below 16 years of age) and it should be used with caution in adolescents (above 16 years of age) and elderly patients.
