Introduction to Neo-Penotran Vaginal Tablet

Neo-Penotran Vaginal Tablet is a combination vaginal or topical medicine used to treat mixed infections caused by bacteria, fungi, and certain parasites. It is commonly prescribed for gynecological infections where multiple types of organisms are involved.

Gynomix is classified under Prescription Medicines, Gynecology Medicines, Antibacterial Drugs, Antifungal Drugs, and Combination Anti-infective Therapies. It contains three active ingredients that work together to eliminate infection and relieve symptoms like discharge, itching, and irritation.

In many markets, original combination brands like Neo-Penotran are available, while local brands such as Gynomix provide similar therapeutic effects when prescribed by a healthcare professional.

What Is Neo-Penotran (Combination Therapy)?

• Metronidazole: Treats bacterial vaginosis and anaerobic infections
