He advised Ointment Mikozoral. The fungus stopped spreading, but did not disappear. On the sixth day we went to the hospital, where the doctor prescribed Fungavis tablets, but in a small dosage. After the course of treatment, the fungus completely disappeared, there were no side effects. "
Svetlana, 19 years old, Rostov-on-Don:
"When diagnosed candidiasis vulvovaginitis, I was prescribed nystatin orally and cannison locally. The scheme of treatment was prescribed by a gynecologist, in a total duration of 7 days. Improvements became noticeable on the second day, and after five days nothing disturbed at all. But the doctor said to continue the treatment for two more days to protect herself from returning the symptoms, to destroy the fungus completely. After the end of treatment, it took more than three weeks, while I feel good. "
