Krema-Rosa Vaginal Suppositories are a medicinal product specifically designed for topical vaginal use to treat common vaginal yeast infections. These suppositories contain the active ingredient clotrimazole, a drug belonging to a class of antifungals known as azole. Clotrimazole works effectively by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of the fungal cells causing the infection in the vagina by interfering with the production of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. A deficiency of ergosterol disrupts the integrity of the fungal cell membrane, causing damage and death. Crema-Rosa is an effective, convenient, and easy-to-use treatment option for women suffering from the bothersome symptoms associated with vaginal yeast infections, such as severe itching, burning, redness, and abnormal vaginal discharge.
The active ingredient in Krema-Rosa vaginal suppositories
Krema-Rosa vaginal suppositories contain the following active ingredient, which is the basis of its antifungal therapeutic effect:
Clotrimazole: A synthetic drug belonging to the azole group of broad-spectrum antifungals. Clotrimazole is characterized by its ability to inhibit the growth of a variety of fungi and yeasts, including the fungi that cause vaginal candidiasis. It works by binding to the fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme, inhibiting the production of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane. This disrupts the function and damage of the cell membrane, resulting in fungal cell death and the elimination of the infection.
Available Concentrations
Krema-Rosa vaginal suppositories are typically available in one or more concentrations of the active ingredient clotrimazole, to provide treatment options tailored to the severity of the infection and the recommended duration of treatment. Common strengths available on the market include:
Clotrimazole 500 mg: This single-dose pack is often used as a single dose to treat uncomplicated vaginal yeast infections. This high dose provides an effective concentration of medication in the vagina long enough to eliminate the fungus in most cases.
Other packs containing lower strength suppositories, such as 100 mg or 200 mg, may be available. These are typically used for a longer treatment period of several days (e.g., one suppository daily for 3 to 6 days) upon the recommendation of a doctor or pharmacist.
The vaginal suppository is gently and deeply inserted into the vagina using the applicator provided (if available) or with clean fingers, usually once daily before going to bed. It is best to lie down after inserting the suppository to allow it to dissolve and spread completely over the affected area. Carefully follow the doctor's or pharmacist's instructions, as well as the package instructions, regarding dosage and duration of treatment.
Indications for Use of Krema-Rosa Vaginal Suppositories
Krema-Rosa Vaginal Suppositories are primarily and effectively used to treat:
Uncomplicated vaginal yeast infections (vaginal candidiasis) caused by Candida albicans and other Candida species. This fungal infection is common in women and is characterized by symptoms such as severe vaginal itching, burning, irritation, redness, and swelling of the vagina and vulva, as well as a thick, white or yellow vaginal discharge that resembles cottage cheese.
Your doctor may also recommend using Crema-Rosa for other types of vaginal yeast infections based on diagnosis and clinical evaluation.
