How Does It Work?
Zidoval works by delivering metronidazole directly to the site of infection in the vagina. Metronidazole disrupts the DNA of the bacteria, preventing their growth and helping restore the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina. This leads to the resolution of symptoms such as abnormal discharge and unpleasant odor.
Zidoval Vaginal Gel is highly effective in treating bacterial vaginosis, helping to relieve common symptoms like vaginal discharge, odor, and irritation. It is essential to complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is fully treated and to prevent recurrence.
Standard Method:
- Application:
Apply one 5-gram dose (using the applicator provided) of Zidoval Vaginal Gel into the vagina once daily at bedtime. This delivers 37.5 mg of metronidazole per application.
- Duration:
Continue using Zidoval Vaginal Gel for five consecutive days, even if symptoms begin to improve before the treatment is complete.
Administration Tips:
- Consistency:
Apply the gel at the same time each night to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Missed Dose: If you forget to apply a dose, use it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not use two doses at once to make up for a missed dose.
Benefits of Using Zidoval
- Targeted Treatment: The gel delivers metronidazole directly to the infected area, providing effective treatment for bacterial vaginosis.
