Gynofort, vaginal cream 20 mg/g 5 g

Gynofort has fungicidal activity against Candida fungi, Trichophyton, Microsporum, Epidermophyton and some Gram-positive bacteria. It is most effective against candidiasis.

Blocking formation of ergosterol from lanosterol in the cell membrane it increases membrane permeability which leads to lysis of the fungus cell.

In intravaginal application butoconazole remains on the vaginal mucosa for 4-5 days.
