SERTADIE 300 mg ovule
Sertaconazole nitrate

What it is and what it is used for
Local treatment of clinically confirmed vaginal candidiasis.

What you need to know before taking the medicine
Hypersensitivity to the components or other chemically related substances, especially to azole antifungals.
Generally contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding (see Special Warnings).

Warnings and precautions
In cases of candidiasis also involving the vulvar and/or perianal areas, it is recommended to combine therapy with sertaconazole ovules for vaginal use with local treatment with another antifungal.
To prevent "ping-pong" reinfections, it is also essential to treat the partner with antifungals.
For local hygiene, it is recommended to use neutral or alkaline pH soaps, as acidic pH soaps can promote the proliferation of Candida.
The product can also be used during menstruation.

In case of local intolerance or an allergic reaction, treatment should be discontinued and any residual product can be removed by vaginal irrigation.
The use of this product may interfere with the effectiveness of latex contraceptive devices (condoms and diaphragms) as it may cause them to break.

Possible side effects
Like all medicines, Sertadie can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Rarely, manifestations of local intolerance have been reported, such as a burning sensation or itching, which generally resolve spontaneously.
Allergic reactions are possible.
An increase in liver enzymes has been rarely reported.
Adherence to the instructions in the package leaflet reduces the risk of side effects. If any of the side effects worsen, or if you notice any side effects not listed in this package leaflet, tell your doctor or pharmacist.
