Uses

Treatment of Syndromic treatment of vaginal discharge

Benefits

In Bacterial infection: Clingen Forte treats the bacterial infection it was prescribed for by killing the bacteria or stopping them multiplying. Finishing the course makes sure the infection does not return.
In Gut infection: Clingen Forte clears the bacteria or other organisms causing diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating, so the gut settles.
In Skin infection: Clingen Forte treats infected skin and soft tissue, bringing down redness, swelling and pain.
In Dental infection: Clingen Forte treats infections of the teeth and gums, easing the pain and swelling until your dentist can deal with the cause.
In Fungal skin infection: Clingen Forte kills the fungus on the skin or stops it growing, clearing the rash and the itch. Continuing for the full period, even after the skin looks clear, stops it coming back.
In Ringworm: Clingen Forte clears the ring-shaped, itchy rash of ringworm and stops it spreading to other parts of the body or to other people.
In Athlete's foot: Clingen Forte clears the itchy, peeling, cracked skin between the toes and on the soles, and helps stop the infection returning.
In Dandruff: Clingen Forte controls the yeast that drives flaking and itching of the scalp, so dandruff clears and the scalp settles.
In Nail fungal infection: Clingen Forte, applied to the nail, slowly clears a mild fungal nail infection as the healthy nail grows out.

How to use

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Wash and dry your vaginal area. Lie on your back and gently insert the capsule into the vagina as high as possible with or without the use of an applicator as mentioned in the label.

How it works

Clindamycin is an antibiotic which stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medicine which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their protective covering. Tinidazole is also an antibiotic which kills other infectious microorganisms in addition to bacteria by damaging their DNA.

Safety advice

AlcoholUNSAFE: Do not drink alcohol while taking this medicine.
PregnancyUNSAFE: Not recommended in pregnancy. It may harm the developing baby, so tell your doctor at once if you are or might be pregnant.
Breast feedingCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor before using this while breastfeeding.
DrivingCAUTION: May cause drowsiness or affect your concentration. Do not drive until you know how it affects you.
KidneyCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor if you have kidney disease.

Warnings & precautions

Finish the whole course even after you feel better. Do not drink any alcohol while taking metronidazole, ornidazole or tinidazole, or for the period after the course that your doctor states — the combination causes severe flushing, vomiting and a racing heart. Report severe or watery loose motions during or after the course rather than treating them yourself. Tetracyclines stain developing teeth and are avoided in young children and in pregnancy. Antibiotics do not work against colds, flu or most sore throats, which are caused by viruses. Keep applying for the full period your doctor stated, usually two to four weeks, and for a week or two after the rash has cleared. Stopping when it looks better is why ringworm keeps coming back. Apply a little beyond the visible edge of the patch — the fungus extends further than the redness. Do not use a combination cream containing a steroid on a fungal infection unless a doctor has specifically prescribed it. The steroid calms the redness while the fungus spreads underneath. See a doctor if the rash covers a large area, involves the scalp or nails, or has not improved in two weeks — these usually need tablets as well.

If you miss a dose
