Clingen Forte Vaginal Capsule
Description
Clingen Forte Vaginal Capsule is a prescription medication used to treat bacterial, fungal, and parasitic vaginal infections. It contains a combination of clindamycin, tinidazole, and clotrimazole, which work together to inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms causing the infection. By eliminating bacteria, fungi, and parasites, Clingen Forte helps relieve symptoms such as itching, discharge, irritation, and discomfort, while also preventing the spread of infection.
This medicine is for vaginal use only and should be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Clingen Forte Vaginal Capsule is specifically designed for women, and the treatment course must be completed even if symptoms improve early. Stopping treatment prematurely may lead to re-infection or incomplete healing. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should seek medical advice before using Clingen Forte, as the medication should be used with caution under medical supervision in such cases.
To use Clingen Forte Vaginal Capsule correctly, start by washing your hands with soap and water. Remove the capsule from its packaging and lie on your back in a comfortable position. Insert the capsule deeply into the vagina using your fingers or the provided applicator, following the instructions on the package or given by your healthcare provider. After insertion, remain lying down for at least 10–15 minutes to allow the capsule to dissolve and distribute inside the vagina.
Once the capsule is inserted, wash your hands thoroughly again. Dispose of the applicator and packaging properly after use. Maintaining good hygiene during application is important to ensure maximum effectiveness and prevent reinfection.
Clingen Forte Vaginal Capsule is a trusted treatment for vaginal infections when used correctly and under medical guidance. For optimal results, always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully, complete the full course of treatment, and avoid self-medicating. If symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment, consult your healthcare provider for further assessment.

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.
