HOW DOES IT WORK?
Clivago: Clindamycin 100 mg + Clotrimazole 100 mg comprises two medications. 'Clindamycin' is an antibiotic and 'Clotrimazole' is an antifungal medication. Clindamycin is an antibiotic drug and works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, required for bacterial survival thus preventing bacterial growth. It exhibits a bacteriostatic action that prevents bacterial growth. Clotrimazole is an imidazole antifungal medication that prevents the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Together CLINDAMYCIN+CLOTRIMAZOLE treats vaginal infections caused by bacteria, yeast, and parasites preventing white discharge, itchiness, and inflammation in the genitourinary area. Clotrimazole belongs to the imidazole antifungal group that destroys fungi by causing holes in their cell membrane, thereby making them leak all content out. Together, they treat the infection effectively. Clindamycin witnessed a lower rate of clinical failure as compared to triple sulfonamide cream. It is more effective than hydrogen peroxide douche. Clotrimazole is most active against candida spp. trichophyton spp and Microsporum spp. It is very effective in patients who had failed to respond to other antifungal agents such as nystatin and amphotericin B.
