Gyno-travogen
Drug name: Gyno-travogen ovule
Active Ingredients:
- Isoconazole nitrate
Therapeutic actions: The treatment of vaginal mycoses with GYNO-TRAVOGEN is a local therapy, which does not require effective plasma levels of isoconazole. By insertion of the ovule into the vagina, a depot is established. The ovule melts at body temperature and forms a viscid, oily mass, which panels the vaginal wall. A part of the is dissolved in the vaginal secretion and penetrates into the vaginal epithelium. In the secretion and in the epithelium, a concentration of the distinctly above the in vitro determined minimum inhibitory and minimum biocidal concentration is maintained for several days.
Indications: of the vagina including mixed infections with gram-positive bacteria.
Contraindications and cautions: Hypersensitivity to drug compositions.
For treatment of the external genital region or for simultaneous prophylactic treatment of the partner it is recommended to use an appropriate anti-fungal cream.
During treatment and in the following week vaginal douching should be avoided. To avoid renewed infection, personal linen (face cloth, towels, underwear - preferably of cotton) should be changed daily and boiled.
Preclinical Safety Data
The results from repeated dose toxicity studies did not indicate that particular health risks could be associated with the therapeutic use of
In a series of special reproduction toxicity studies, isoconazole exerted no adverse effects on any phase of the reproductive cycle. In particular, there was no evidence of a teratogenic potential.
According to the results from local tolerance studies on the skin and mucous membranes, no remarkable local irritation has to be expected under therapeutic conditions. In view of the results obtained at the rabbit eye, conjunctival irritation has to be expected after inadvertent contamination of the eye.
Pregnancy and Lactation
Use in Pregnancy
The experience with the use of isoconazole-containing preparations during pregnancy does not indicate a teratogenic risk in humans.
Use in Lactation
Because of the only slight absorption (less than 5 % of the dose administered) and the short duration of the therapy, damage to the baby from isoconazole nitrate transferred with the breast milk can be ruled out.
