Indications

Fungal Infection Vaginal Candidiasis

Conasyd is used for the local treatment of fungal infections of the skin, including dermatophyte infections such as tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea manuum, tinea pedis and pityriasis versicolor (tinea versicolor), as well as dermal candidiasis. It is also used for erythrasma, where its activity against some Gram-positive bacteria is an added benefit in mixed infections, and for vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC).

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Tioconazole is a topical antifungal medicine used to treat fungal infections. It works against a broad range of disease-causing yeasts, and laboratory studies have shown that it kills Candida albicans, other Candida species, and Torulopsis glabrata.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy Category C. Tioconazole should be used in pregnancy only if the potential benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the unborn child. It is not known whether this medicine passes into human breast milk. Since many medicines do pass into breast milk, breastfeeding should be temporarily stopped while using Tioconazole.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

Adults: Ointment: Tioconazole has been found to be effective as a single-dose treatment for vulvovaginal candidiasis. Insert one applicator-full (about 4.6 g) into the vagina. Applying Tioconazole just before bedtime may be preferred. Cream: Apply once or twice daily, in the morning and/or evening. Up to 6 weeks of treatment may be needed for chronic hyperkeratotic tinea pedis. Suppository: Insert one 300 mg suppository into the vagina as a single dose, preferably at bedtime. For patients who have improved but are not completely cured, a repeat dose one week later may be effective.
