Dequalinium Chloride, from Oral Lozenge to Vaginal Tablet

How amazing that something we used to treat oral thrush and other infections on mouth can now be used for vaginal infections. Dequalinium Chloride, known to be Dequadin lozenge, has been transformed into vaginal tablet. Dequalinium Chloride is not just effective to treat mouth thrush and other oral infections, but found out clinically to be effective against vaginal infection, trichomoniasis, and can be used as an achievement of asepsis before gynecological operations and deliveries.

Under the brandname of FluomizinTM (Medinova Switzerland) and imported and distributed by Chemway Pharma Inc. in the Philippines. The drug is in the form of tablet, of course, but a vaginal tablet of white oval and biconvex, that inserted deeply into the vagina. Each tablet contains 10mg of Dequalinium Chloride. Fluomizin is therapeutically against vaginal infection of bacterial and mycotic origin such as bacterial vaginosis and candidiasis, trichomoniasis and achievement of asepsis before gynecological operations and deliveries. One vaginal tablet everyday for six days is recommended dosage.

Adverse effects may include itchiness, burning sensation or redness on the area of administration, but which can be also associated with vaginal infection, local irritation reactions and some very rare cases of fever have been reported. For more information about this drug, please consult your pharmacist or your OB-Gyne doctor about the proper use, dosage and administration and other information.
