About Clot-CL Vaginal Suppositories

Clot-CL Vaginal Suppositories is used to treat vaginal infections caused by bacteria (bacterial vaginosis), yeast infection (candidiasis) and parasitic infections (trichomoniasis). Bacterial vaginosis is caused by the change in the normal balance of vaginal bacteria. Vaginal yeast infection or Candidiasis is the infection of the vagina and tissues at the opening of the vagina (vulva). Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite. 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).

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.
