Gynocare Vaginal Soft Gelatin Capsules

Gynocare is a prescription-only gynecological combination medicine formulated as vaginal soft capsules (ovules). Each capsule contains a potent combination of four active ingredients: Metronidazole, Neomycin Sulfate, Polymyxin B Sulfate, and Nystatin.

It is prescribed by gynecologists to treat mixed vaginal infections—including bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, and vaginal candidiasis (thrush)—as well as non-specific vaginitis.

How It Works

Gynocare provides broad, targeted action directly within the vagina to address multiple potential causes of infection simultaneously:

• Metronidazole: Active against anaerobic bacteria and Trichomonas vaginalis, eliminating foul odor and abnormal discharge.

• Neomycin & Polymyxin B Sulfate: Broad-spectrum antibiotics that work together to destroy Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria causing bacterial vaginitis.

• Nystatin: An antifungal agent that targets Candida species, clearing yeast infections and relieving intense itching and irritation.

Important Safety Warnings

For Vaginal Insertion Only:

🚨 Administration Warning: Gynocare soft capsules are STRICTLY for vaginal use only. Do NOT swallow or take them by mouth.

Avoid Alcohol During Treatment:

🚨 Alcohol Interaction Hazard: Metronidazole in Gynocare can interact with alcohol (even when used topically), potentially causing a disulfiram-like reaction (severe nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, facial flushing, and rapid heartbeat). Avoid consuming alcoholic drinks during treatment and for at least 48 hours after your last dose.

Avoid Latex Contraceptives:

🚨 Contraceptive Caution: The soft gel vehicle can degrade or weaken latex condoms and diaphragms, increasing the risk of unintended pregnancy or STI transmission. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment or use non-latex barrier methods.

How to Use It Safely

• Recommended Dosage: Insert 1 soft capsule deep into the vagina once daily at bedtime for 6 to 10 consecutive days (or as specifically directed by your doctor).

• Step-by-Step Application:

  • Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after insertion.

  • Lie flat on your back with your knees pulled slightly toward your chest.

  • Gently insert 1 capsule as deep into the vagina as comfortable.

  • Remain lying down so the capsule dissolves properly without slipping out.

• Menstrual Cycle: If your period starts during the treatment course, continue inserting the capsule daily as prescribed (use sanitary towels rather than tampons).

Possible Side Effects

Because Gynocare acts locally inside the vagina, systemic side effects are minimal. Possible local side effects include:

• Mild localized stinging, burning, or itching upon insertion.

• Mild redness or vaginal mucosa irritation.

• Metallic taste in the mouth (occasionally reported with metronidazole).

If severe burning, swelling, or allergic skin reactions develop, stop using the capsules and consult your doctor.

How to Store This Medicine

• Keep capsules inside their original blister packaging and box to protect from heat and moisture.

• Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C. Keep away from direct sunlight (excessive heat can soften or melt the gelatin shell).

• Keep strictly out of reach of children.
