Description
What is Zidoval Vaginal Gel?
Zidoval Vaginal Gel is a prescription medication used to treat bacterial vaginosis (BV), a common bacterial infection in the vagina. The active ingredient in Zidoval is metronidazole, an antibiotic that is effective at eliminating the bacteria responsible for BV. Zidoval is applied directly into the vagina using the provided applicator, allowing it to target the infection at the source. Bacterial vaginosis often causes symptoms like abnormal discharge, a fishy odour, and discomfort, and Zidoval helps to restore the natural bacterial balance of the vagina.
How Does Zidoval Vaginal Gel Work?
Zidoval contains metronidazole, an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the growth of certain bacteria. In bacterial vaginosis, harmful bacteria overgrow and disrupt the normal balance of good and bad bacteria in the vagina. Metronidazole directly targets and kills these harmful bacteria, helping to restore the natural environment of the vagina. By applying the gel topically, Zidoval delivers metronidazole directly to the infection site, providing fast and effective relief from BV symptoms. Treatment typically lasts for 5 days, during which time the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis should significantly improve.
