Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Clindamycin in Clingen Forte vaginal capsule attaches to the genetic material of bacteria, thus preventing the production of substances required for their growth. It controls their spread.
- Tinidazole in Clingen Forte vaginal capsule is broken down by a microorganism called Trichomonas. The by-products produced, in turn, kill it. It also affects the genetic material of bacteria. This inhibits their growth and ultimately stops their spread....
- Clotrimazole in Clingen Forte vaginal capsule attaches to the covering of the fungus cells. It destroys the covering and makes it porous. This slows the growth of the fungus and kills it.
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- There is limited information available on the interaction of this combination with other medicines. However, as Clingen Forte contains clindamycin, tinidazole & clotrimazole, any interactions seen with these 3 components when taken alone may occur with this combination....
- Medicines like Atracurium and Vecuronium, which are used to relax muscles before surgery, should be used carefully with Clingen forte as the duration of muscle relaxation may be increased.
Interactions with food items
Clingen Forte is designed for vaginal use, not oral consumption. It’s important to follow the instructions on the label and those provided by your doctor.
