is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nyvigan contains the active substance nystatin and is used to treat\u00a0infections\u00a0of the vagina and the outer parts of the abdomen, which are caused by the yeast\u00a0<em>Candida albicans<\/em>\u00a0or by other\u00a0<em>Candida<\/em>\u00a0species.\u00a0Common symptoms of\u00a0vaginal\u00a0Candida\u00a0infection\u00a0are\u00a0itching burning sensation and white granular discharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine is only for adults from 18 years of age<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before using Nyvigan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Nyvigan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>if you are allergic to nystatin or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Consult a physician before using this medicine if you have foul-smelling discharge, intermittent bleeding, abdominal pain, pain when vomiting, and\/or fever, as these may be symptoms of a condition other than a fungal infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should a\u00a0hypersensitivity reaction\u00a0occur, the use of the drug should be discontinued and physicians or pharmacists should be consulted for appropriate alternative treatment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When treating fungal infections, all areas of the skin and&nbsp;vagina&nbsp;with fungal growth must be treated long enough to prevent recurrence due to untreated fungus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure a good treatment result, personal hygiene should be taken care of carefully.\u00a0Furthermore, underwear should be changed every day;\u00a0the most suitable are disposable panties or the use of sanitary napkins.\u00a0The yellow discoloration that the drug gives to underwear disappears during normal washing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intercourse should be avoided during the treatment period, as\u00a0infection\u00a0can be transmitted to the partner.\u00a0If Nyvigan ointment is used at the same time as a condom or\u00a0pessary, the paraffin excipient can reduce the tear strength and thus reduce the reliability of these condoms or\u00a0pessaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age due to lack of experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other drugs and Nyvigan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not known that Nyvigan affects or is affected by other drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nystatin, the active substance in Nyvigan, is hardly absorbed through intact skin or mucous membranes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nyvigan can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hands should be washed thoroughly before&nbsp;vaginal&nbsp;application to avoid upward&nbsp;infection&nbsp;during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nyvigan does not affect the ability to drive and use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use Nyvigan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always use this medicine according to this leaflet or your doctor&#8217;s or pharmacist&#8217;s instructions.&nbsp;Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recommended&nbsp;dose&nbsp;is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Component 1: Salva<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For use on the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ointment should be applied with a not too thin layer twice daily on infected skin areas on the outer parts of the abdomen (at the beginning of treatment together with vaginal tablets).&nbsp;The ointment should be used for full healing.&nbsp;The duration of treatment required for this is usually up to 2 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Component 2: Vaginal tablets<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For&nbsp;vaginal&nbsp;use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two vaginal tablets should be inserted deep into the vagina at bedtime for three consecutive days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do I know that the treatment is effective?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The symptoms of a\u00a0vaginal\u00a0<em>Candida<\/em>\u00a0infection\u00a0(\u00a0itching, burning sensation, and white\u00a0granular\u00a0discharge) should be significantly relieved within the first 3 days after starting treatment with Nyvigan.\u00a0If symptoms do not improve significantly or if symptoms worsen after about a week of treatment, seek medical advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case of uncertainty about the effect of the treatment, a medical examination can clarify whether the treatment has been sufficient or whether it should continue longer to achieve complete healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you use more Nyvigan than you should &nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have ingested too much medicine or if e.g.\u00a0If a child has ingested the medicine by mistake, always contact a doctor or hospital for risk assessment and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No intoxication symptoms are expected in case of overdose, as the active substance (nystatin) in the ointment and the vaginal tablets are hardly absorbed into the blood when used on external parts of the genitals (ointment) or during treatment in the vagina (vaginal tablets)&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you forget to use Nyvigan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Component 1: Salva<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can apply the missed&nbsp;dose&nbsp;on the same day you take it, as described in this leaflet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Component 2: Vaginal tablets<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should continue treatment the next day and increase the treatment time by one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you stop using Nyvigan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve the desired treatment effect, follow the recommendations on treatment duration in section 3 &#8220;How to use Nyvigan&#8221;.&nbsp;Treatment should not be stopped until the&nbsp;infection&nbsp;has completely healed, without consulting a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible side effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all medicines, this medicine can cause\u00a0side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Component 1: Salva<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Very rare (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people): Hypersensitivity (rash,\u00a0itching,\u00a0and burning sensation.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Component 2: Vaginal tablets<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uncommon (may affect up to 1 in 100 people): skin reactions such as burning
