Miconazolnitraat J-C Vaginale Crème Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Miconazolnitraat J-C Vaginale Crème topical cream is a broad-spectrum antimycotic which offers a high antifungal activity against dermatophytes, yeasts and other phyco-Asco and Adelomycetes, with a potent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacilli and cocci. Miconazolnitraat J-C Vaginale Crème topical cream proved to be markedly effective in secondary infected mycoses, which under other treatments were resistant or reappeared. Miconazolnitraat J-C Vaginale Crème topical cream does not stain skin or clothes.
The active ingredient, Miconazolnitraat J-C Vaginale Crème, is a synthetic imidazole anti-fungal agent with a broad spectrum of activity against pathogenic fungi (including yeast and dermatophytes) and gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus and Streptococcus spp). It may act by interfering with the permeability of the fungal cell membranes. When administered orally, Miconazolnitraat J-C Vaginale Crème is incompletely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, peak plasma levels of about 1 µg per ml have been achieved after a dose of 1 gm per day. Miconazolnitraat J-C Vaginale Crème is inactivated in the body and 10-20% of an oral dose is excreted in the urine, mainly as metabolites, within 6 days. About 50% of an oral dose may be excreted unchanged in the faeces.
Miconazolnitraat J-C Vaginale Crème is an azole antifungal that functions primarily through inhibition of a specific demethylase within the CYP450 complex. As miconazole is typically applied topically and is minimally absorbed into the systemic circulation following application, the majority of patient reactions are limited to hypersensitivity and cases of anaphylaxis. Patients using intravaginal miconazole products are advised not to rely on contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, as well as not to use tampons concurrently.

How Miconazolnitraat J-C Vaginale Crème works
Miconazolnitraat J-C Vaginale Crème is an azole antifungal used to treat a variety of conditions, including those caused by Candida overgrowth. Unique among the azoles, miconazole is thought to act through three main mechanisms. The primary mechanism of action is through inhibition of the CYP450 14α-lanosterol demethylase enzyme, which results in altered ergosterol production and impaired cell membrane composition and permeability, which in turn leads to cation, phosphate, and low molecular weight protein leakage.
In addition, miconazole inhibits fungal peroxidase and catalase while not affecting NADH oxidase activity, leading to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Increased intracellular ROS leads to downstream pleiotropic effects and eventual apoptosis.
Lastly, likely as a result of lanosterol demethylation inhibition, miconazole causes a rise in intracellular levels of farnesol. This molecule participates in quorum sensing in Candida, preventing the transition from yeast to mycelial forms and thereby the formation of biofilms, which are more resistant to antibiotics. In addition, farnesol is an inhibitor of drug efflux ABC transporters, namely Candida CaCdr1p and CaCdr2p, which may additionally contribute to increased effectiveness of azole drugs.
