Bacterial vaginosis is caused by the change in the normal balance of vaginal bacteria.

Symptoms of a vaginal infection include itching, odour and abnormal heavy white discharge from the vagina.
Clot-CL Vaginal Suppositories comprises two medicines, namely: 'Clindamycin' (antibiotic) and 'Clotrimazole' (antifungal). Clindamycin belongs to the lincomycin antibiotic group that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which is required for the survival of the bacteria. As a result, it inhibits bacterial growth but does not kill them (bacteriostatic effect). On the other hand, Clotrimazole belongs to the imidazole antifungal group, which kills fungi by causing holes in their cell membrane, thereby leaking all content out.
