Medicinal Benefits

Megaclin Forte Suppository is used to treat vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis (BV), candidiasis, and trichomoniasis. It comprises three medicines: 'Clindamycin' (antibiotic), 'Tinidazole' (antibiotic), and 'Clotrimazole' (antifungal). Clindamycin is an antibiotic drug and works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which inhibits bacterial growth. It shows a bacteriostatic effect, which stops bacterial reproduction. Clotrimazole is an imidazole antifungal medication that prevents fungal growth by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Together Megaclin Forte Suppository treats vaginal infections caused by bacteria, yeast, and parasites preventing white discharge, itchiness, and inflammation in the genitourinary area.
