Lomexin is a medicine used in gynaecological and dermatological practice to treat a wide spectrum of fungal infections, both intravaginal and those affecting the external genitalia. The medication can also be applied to other infected areas of the skin. It contains fenticonazole nitrate as an active component.
Lomexin works by inhibiting a chemical that is the basis of the fungal pathogens' cell membrane. Due to this, the reproduction of pathogenic cells becomes impossible. Hence, the disease may be taken under control. In addition, the medication has an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect.
Lomexin has been approved for use in Australia by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), which is the regulatory authority responsible for ensuring the safety, efficacy, and quality of medicines in Australia.
The ailments that Lomexin can cope with include:
The medicine is manufactured in two dosage forms: vaginal capsules and cream. The capsules are applied in the therapy of Lomexin mucose vulvaire. The preparation is available in three strengths: Lomexin 200 mg, 600 mg, and 1000 mg vaginal capsules.
Lomexin cream contains 0.2% of the active ingredient. It may be applied either vaginally or topically, depending on the location of the fungal infection you have to deal with. This form of the remedy works for Lomexin herpes genital or Lomexin mucose pied.
The dose of the vaginal capsules should be set individually by your healthcare provider. Only a professional can determine the severity of the infection and distinguish between the pathogens that provoked the disease.
For the therapy of vaginal yeast infection, doctors recommend a 200 mg dose. Insert it into the vagina as deeply as possible while lying on your back. The medication should be applied for three days in a row before sleep.
In case of severe fungal infection of the vagina, it is better to use a single 600 mg dose. But if the symptoms remain the same, insert another capsule three days after the first one. You should never violate the period between administering the vaginal capsules, as it may result in overdose.
For the treatment of vaginal trichomoniasis, women need to administer a 1000 mg vaginal capsule of Lomexin twice. Yet it doesn't mean that you have to use them on the same day. There should be a 24-hour gap between the capsules' intake. To make sure you have killed the infection and prevent its recurrence, repeat the same course 10 days later.
The strategy for using Lomexin in the form of a cream is a bit different. When applied vaginally, it has to be inserted into the vagina with the help of an applicator (comes with the cream) twice, with an interval of 24 hours. Do it in the evening, before going to bed.
Twice-daily application is recommended when using the cream topically. Clean and dry the affected areas before rubbing in the preparation.
There have been several studies conducted in Australia to evaluate the effectiveness of Lomexin in treating fungal infections. These clinical trials typically involve adult participants diagnosed with conditions such as vulvovaginal candidiasis. The studies aim to assess the medicine's efficacy, safety profile, and patient tolerance over a specified treatment duration. Results from these trials generally indicate that Lomexin effectively reduces symptoms associated with fungal infections, such as itching and discharge, while maintaining a favourable safety profile with minimal adverse effects.
The medication is applied locally. Hence, it has no impact on the entire organism. This is the primary reason why Lomexin has only one contraindication: hypersensitivity to fenticonazole, some other imidazole, or any other component of the remedy.
Lomexin is not intended to be used in girls younger than 16. If a woman older than 60 uses the preparation, close medical supervision is needed.
Women who have a regular sexual partner and don't use barrier methods of contraception need to be treated together with their partner. This is necessary because there is a very high probability that a man is also infected. Hence, to avoid repeated episodes, both need to be treated.
Either Lomexin vaginal capsules or cream can increase the probability of barrier methods of contraception failure. The medications may affect the integrity of latex, thus making it possible for a condom to break.
Lomexin is classified as a prescription medicine in Australia. This means that it can only be obtained with a prescription from a licensed healthcare professional.
Before using Lomexin, inform your doctor about any infections you have had within the last 6 months. Besides, it is important to mention whether you or your partner have a sexually transmitted disease (STD) in your medical history.
The safety of prescribing Lomexin grossesse mycose treatment is still discussed. There's not enough evidence of the drug's safety during pregnancy, yet there is also not enough proof that the preparation may pose any danger to the fetus.
Nevertheless, special attention should be given to pregnant women being treated with Lomexin. Only a doctor can weigh all the possible risks and benefits for the expectant mother and the baby.
The same caution should be used if Lomexin needs to be applied during breastfeeding.
Due to poor systemic absorption, Lomexin can induce only local adverse reactions. The only exception is a hypersensitivity reaction to the preparation. It may manifest via rash, urticaria, and reddening of the skin.
The most common Lomexin side effects are itching, burning, and irritation in the area where the medication was applied. However, this reaction is short-term and goes away after several minutes. There's no need to stop treatment, as these effects are safe and don't require medical attention.
I'm in Alice Springs and live well outside the city centre. How can I check whether Lomexin can be delivered to my postcode before I place an order?
Enter your Alice Springs delivery address and postcode at checkout to check whether delivery is available for your location. Availability can vary by destination, so it is confirmed there before you submit the order.
My parcel in Newcastle arrived after sitting in very hot weather. What should I check before using the vaginal suppository?
Check that the package and suppository are intact, with no melting, softening, leakage, discolouration or damage to the blister. Keep it in its original packaging below 25°C, protected from heat and moisture. If its condition is uncertain, do not use it until it has been checked.
I have diabetes and keep getting symptoms that seem like thrush. Can I just use this 600 mg suppository whenever it happens?
Fenticonazole is not expected to affect blood glucose, but diabetes can contribute to recurrent or persistent vaginal thrush. Repeated symptoms should be assessed rather than repeatedly self-treated, because confirmation of the cause and attention to glucose control may be needed.
