MECLON “200 mg/10 ml + 1 g/130 ml vaginal solution”
Clotrimazole, Metronidazole

What it is and what it is used for
Meclon contains clotrimazole and metronidazole, active ingredients belonging to the class of medicines called gynaecological anti-infectives and antiseptics.
Meclon is used as an adjunct for the treatment of infections of the female genital tract (cervicovaginitis and vulvovaginitis) caused by microorganisms (Trichomonas vaginalis, also associated with Candida albicans, Gardnerella vaginalis and other susceptible bacterial flora). The symptoms most frequently characterising these infections are: abundant and/or unusual vaginal discharge, itching, redness, burning sensation during urination, pain during sexual intercourse.
Meclon vaginal solution can also be used after other local or oral therapy, in order to reduce the risk of recurrence.
