Reviews

8 months of pregnancy, discovered thrush. The second day I take a neo-penotran STRONG ITCH !!! I get up 3 times a night in the toilet and every time a candle comes out, I have to take a shower to reduce itching. It’s still hard to say about the effect. Good luck to everyone and health!

Last time I took Neopenotran 200 .. I don’t remember the kidneys at all. Only if used twice a day .. then on the third day a slight burning sensation and discomfort .. and if 1 suppository per night is normal! Almost all byak (not STIs) or infections in small quantities. Flowed out moderately .. enter easily. Arranged to all but the price. Then she switched to an immunostimulant spray Epigen sex .. it's not an antibiotic .. now they’ve found a couple of infections and thrush .. here I think I’ll connect the candles again or its analog Metromicon neo. For most people, metronidazole will not deliver side effects .. horrors only write as an exception - this is an individual reaction of the body

Prescribed these candles + 1 capsule Mikomaksa with a diagnosis vulvovaginitis. I read the reviews - terrible horror - burns, poor health, weight loss ... .. Still decided. The price varies around 900 rubles. She underwent treatment for 7 days. No burns and terrible side effects. There was a little frustration (which is also included in the list of side effects), but that's okay and mood swings seem to ICP. And in the morning, most likely, the remains of the candle came out in the form of secretions, although it was introduced deeply. Itching and burning during intercourse are gone (it was quite tight to be honest), I feel much better. But there was little discharge during the day. What will I clarify at the next appointment with the gynecologist. So do not pay much attention to the reviews - all the same, it all depends on your body and individual tolerance. This is a fairly strong antibiotic - it kills not only bad microbes, but also good ones, so I advise you to restore the microflora after treatment.

Gynecologist prescribed for candidiasis and gardenenosis plus diflucan 1 tablet The next day, a metallic smack appeared in the mouth. By evening, it became very bad, my head was spinning, nausea almost lost consciousness, pains on my right side, metallic taste intensified. I called an ambulance, they said maybe an attack of cholecystitis from medications. I didn’t go to the hospital, drank carrot juice and a decoction of dandelion root got better, fell asleep. When I ate in the morning, a smack appeared again, and it became bad. I went to the surgeon, he said that it was from metronidazole and could last another week.
