What is Gyno-Daktarin?

Gyno-Daktarin is an antifungal medication designed to treat common fungal infections such as vaginal thrush. The cream is inserted directly into the vagina to help ease symptoms of:

  • itching (of the vulva or vagina)
  • redness
  • white discharge (which may resemble cottage cheese)

Gyno-Daktarin contains an active ingredient called Miconazole nitrate, which belongs to a class of medicines known as antifungals.

It can be used by itself, or in conjunction with oral tablets like Fluconazole.

How does it work?

Miconazole nitrate, the active ingredient in Gyno-Daktarin, works by killing the candida fungal cells that are responsible for causing the vaginal yeast infection.

Miconazole stops the fungi in the vagina from producing a substance called ergosterol, which is vital for the survival of its cells. Without ergosterol, the cell membrane starts to break down and cause damage to the cell.

Eventually, this causes the fungi cells to be destroyed - helping your body’s immune system fight off the fungal infection completely.

Gyno-Daktarin also targets certain bacteria that may worsen a thrush infection, providing it with a dual purpose.

What are the benefits?

As well as clearing the uncomfortable symptoms of thrush, Gyno-Daktarin has several benefits:

  • easy to apply with a provided applicator
  • clears up your infection entirely
  • works within several days, resulting in a quick recovery
  • is a clinically proven prescription treatment
  • treats both internal and external symptoms

What dosages are available?

This vaginal antifungal medicine is available in a single dosage which is proven to help clear up thrush in one dose depending on the severity of the outbreak. Your doctor will be able to advise you on how often to apply and for how long.

One tube of Gyno-Daktarin cream contains 2% Miconazole nitrate.

How do I use it?

For a full guide on how to use and apply Gyno-Daktarin cream, please consult the patient leaflet included in the packaging, or to the right of this article.

An abbreviated guide on using this treatment is as follows:

Preparing the applicator

  1. Break the seal of the tube by piercing it with the cap.
  2. Screw the applicator onto the tube.
  3. Squeeze the tube until the applicator is filled with the treatment.
  4. Unscrew the applicator from the tube and replace the cap.

Inserting the cream

  1. Lie down or sit with your knees bent apart.
  2. Insert the applicator into the vagina, like you would the applicator of a tampon. Make sure it goes in as far as possible.
  3. Push the plunger gently but firmly. Empty the cream by pushing the plunger as far as it will go.
  4. Remove the applicator and put it in the bin with your household waste.

If you are applying Gyno-Daktarin to the vulva or skin around the vagina, simply apply the cream to the affected area twice per day. Apply a thin layer with your hands and always wash your hands afterwards.

How long do I need to use Gyno-Daktarin for?

For vaginal thrush infections, your doctor will suggest either 7 or 14 days of treatment.

  • For a 7-day course, insert two applicators full of cream every evening before you go to bed.
  • For a 14-day course, insert one applicatorful of cream every evening before you go to bed.

If you are unsure about your dosage or how long you need to use this cream for, consult your doctor for advice.

What are the precautions?

You should talk to your doctor if you are relying on barrier methods of contraception (condoms or diaphragms) while using Gyno-Daktarin.

This treatment can damage the rubber in these contraceptive methods and stop them from working properly.

It is recommended that you use an alternative type of contraception during the course of your treatment with this thrush cream.

Can Gyno-Daktarin interact with other medicines?

You must tell your doctor before using Gyno-Daktarin if you are taking any of the following medications:

  • anticoagulants (blood-thinning medicines) such as Warfarin
  • diabetes medicines that are taken orally
  • an epilepsy medication called Phenytoin

What are the potential side effects?

Just like any medicine, there’s a chance that you’ll experience some side effects while using Gyno-Daktarin.
