Generic Lomexin

Common Use
Lomexin is used to treat vulvovaginal candidiasis caused by Candida species. It helps reduce itching, burning, and irritation while restoring the natural vaginal flora. The treatment promotes healing and prevents the recurrence of infection.

Dosage and Direction
The usual dose is one vaginal suppository inserted once daily at bedtime for three consecutive days, or as prescribed by a healthcare provider. Wash your hands before and after use, and follow the instructions provided in the package leaflet. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment unless a condom is used.

Precautions
Before using Lomexin, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of hypersensitivity to azole antifungals. Avoid using other intravaginal products unless advised by a doctor. Report any unusual irritation or allergic reaction during treatment.

Contraindications
Lomexin should not be used in patients with known allergy to fenticonazole or any component of the product. Use with caution in pregnancy and breastfeeding only under medical supervision.

Possible Side Effects
Common side effects include mild burning, irritation, or itching at the application site. Rarely, allergic reactions or local swelling may occur. Seek medical attention if severe symptoms develop.

Drug Interaction
Lomexin is used locally and has minimal systemic absorption, so drug interactions are rare. Inform your healthcare provider if you are using other intravaginal medications.

Missed Dose
If a dose is missed, insert the suppository as soon as you remember. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed application. Continue the treatment as scheduled.

Overdose
Overdose is unlikely due to local administration. In case of accidental ingestion or excessive use, seek medical advice.

Storage
Store Lomexin at room temperature, away from heat and moisture. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use after the expiration date.
