POLYGYNAX Vaginal Capsules

POLYGYNAX is a prescription-only gynecological medicine formulated as soft vaginal capsules (ovules). It combines two broad-spectrum antibiotics and an antifungal agent: Neomycin Sulfate, Polymyxin B Sulfate, and Nystatin, along with Dimeticone as an excipient.

It is prescribed by gynecologists to treat bacterial vaginitis, fungal vaginitis (thrush), and mixed vaginal infections in adult women. It is also used preventively before certain minor gynecological procedures.

How It Works

POLYGYNAX offers a triple-action local treatment directly within the vagina:

• Antifungal Action (Nystatin): Targets and destroys Candida fungal cells, relieving yeast infection symptoms like itching and thick white discharge.

• Antibacterial Action (Neomycin & Polymyxin B): Provides complementary coverage against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria causing bacterial vaginosis or mixed infections.

• Soothing Base (Dimeticone): Helps coat and protect sensitive, inflamed vaginal mucosa, reducing burning and discomfort.

Important Safety Warnings

For Vaginal Insertion Only:

🚨 Administration Warning: POLYGYNAX capsules must NEVER be swallowed. They are strictly for insertion into the vagina.

Avoid Latex Contraceptives:

🚨 Condom Damage Warning: The oily base inside POLYGYNAX capsules can weaken latex condoms and diaphragms, reducing their effectiveness and increasing the risk of unintended pregnancy or STI transmission. Use non-latex protection or alternative contraceptive methods during treatment.

Complete the Full Course:

🚨 Finish the Treatment: Do not stop using the medicine early, even if symptoms disappear or during your menstrual cycle. Complete the full course prescribed by your doctor to prevent the infection from returning.

How to Use It Safely

• Standard Dosage: Insert 1 vaginal capsule deep into the vagina once daily at bedtime for 6 to 12 days (or as instructed by your gynecologist).

• Application Technique:

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

  • Lie flat on your back with your knees slightly bent.

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

  • Remain lying down to allow the capsule to dissolve where needed.

• Menstrual Cycle: Continue treatment as normal even if your period begins during the treatment course (use sanitary pads instead of tampons).

Possible Side Effects

POLYGYNAX acts locally with very low absorption into the bloodstream, making systemic side effects rare. Localized side effects can include:

• Mild vaginal itching, burning, or local irritation after insertion.

• Allergic contact eczema (rare).

How to Store This Medicine

• Keep capsules inside their original blister packaging and outer box.

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

• Keep strictly out of reach of children.
