Miconazole
Miconazole is an antifungal medication that is used to treat various fungal infections. It works by killing the fungi or preventing their growth. Miconazole is available in different forms, such as creams, ointments, powders, and vaginal suppositories. Miconazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol. As a result, it disrupts the cell membrane of the fungi and kills them. It also prevents the fungi from growing and multiplying.
For those experiencing vaginal itching and burning but can’t seem to find relief, pinworms might be to blame. Though they’re more commonly associated with gastrointestinal infections, these pesky parasites can invade the vulva and vagina, causing symptoms similar to a yeast infection. Follow the healthcare provider’s instructions when using miconazole. This includes completing the entire course of treatment even if the symptoms have gone. Stopping treatment early may result in the reappearance of symptoms or a re-infestation.
