Cream "Pimafucin" for men

In most cases, men do not notice signs of Candida balanoposthitis, which is also called a male milkmaid. Because the anatomical features of their genitals allow you to wash the fungus with urine from the urethra more effectively than in women.

But if the immunity of a man is weakened, candidiasis worsens. In this case, the disease can be manifested by white coating and redness on the glans penis, pains and cuts during ejaculation and urination, and also itching, felt inside the abdomen.

In this case, antifungal drugs are prescribed and, in particular, "Pimafucin" -cream. Instructions for use indicate the need for regular application of the cream once or several times a day, but only on the advice of a doctor. Self-medication of thrush can lead to a neglected form of the disease, the treatment of which can be delayed for a long time.

"Pimafucin" -Cream during pregnancy

The active component of this drug - natamycin - is almost not absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes, respectively, does not enter the blood and other biological fluids. Therefore, during pregnancy and lactation, "Pimafucin" is approved for use and does not cause harm. Rather, on the contrary, it prevents the spread of infection and, as a consequence, prevents the infection of the fetus during its passage through the birth canal.

And not only the cream, but also such forms of the drug as gel and suppositories (suppositories vaginal) also have no contraindications in pregnancy. It was noted the absence of negative effects of the drug on the fetus and embryotoxic action.

However, most often in pregnancy is more appropriate to take vaginal suppositories, because the activity of Candida fungi at this time is increasing, and the microbiocenosis of the vagina comes back to normal only after childbirth. Therefore, the drug can help in this case only for a certain period of time.

There have been no cases of drug overdose for today. The storage temperature is 15-20 ° C. "Pimafucin" must be stored in a place inaccessible to children.
