About Dalacin cream

Bacterial vaginosis, also known as BV, is an infection which occurs when the balance of the bacteria within the vagina shifts, usually leading to one of the many forms of bacteria there multiplying to excessive levels. BV does not always cause symptoms meaning that some women may not seek treatment, but if you notice any changes to your vagina, including usual discharge then it is important to seek advice as you may require an antibiotic such as Dalacin cream.

Dalacin Cream Summary Information

The information provided in the summary table is for reference only. It is important to consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any bacterial vaginosis treatment, including Dalacin Cream.

How effective is Dalacin?

Treatment is usually prescribed for anywhere up to 7 days, but studies have shown that a 3 day prescription is as effective at clearing up BV as 7 days when a shorter treatment time is more appropriate, for example, during pregnancy.

Why choose Dalacin cream?

Dalacin treats BV in the form of a cream rather than a pill which is preferable for a patient who struggles to swallow tablets. It is also easy to apply, and the cream is inserted quickly and hygienically with an applicator. It works overnight as you sleep, so you need not worry about any issues with the cream affecting how you feel during the day or needing to wear a pad in your underwear due to leaked treatment.

Due to it being applied via a cream rather than orally, it is less likely to interfere with other medications, too, as the active antibiotic ingredient goes straight to the source of the infection rather than having to move through the system first, potentially interfering with any other medication you may take.

What is contained in Dalacin?

The active ingredient in each dose of Dalacin is clindamycin phosphate.

The inactive ingredients are:

• benzyl alcohol
• cetostearyl alcohol
• cetyl palmitate
• mineral oil
• polysorbate 60
• propylene glycol
• purified water
• sorbitan monostearate
• stearic acid

How does Dalacin cream work?

Bacteria requires certain proteins to be able to reproduce and grow in numbers; Dalacin cream stops the production of this protein and, in turn, stops the infection’s ability to develop. The majority of the bacteria dies due to the treatment, and anythingwhich the cream does not destroy is killed off by your own immunity.

Dalacin cream vs Dalacin tablets

Dalacin cream and Dalacin tablets, also known as Dalacin C, contain the same antibiotic. This particular antibiotic is known as clindamycin. 

Typically, Dalacin C or oral clindamycin can treat various different bacterial infections. It is even used as an alternative treatment for BV – only if the initial treatment does not work for you. or is unsuitable.

Dalacin cream vs oral metronidazole

Dalacin Cream and Oral Metronidazole are topical and oral treatments, respectively. The key difference between the two treatments ultimately lies in personal preference. They perform in the same manner. Both of these treatments, topical and oral, are equally as effective when it comes to treating BV.

In essence, you should take oral medication twice a day, while you can use the topical cream once a day and experience the same effect.

Dalacin cream vs Zidoval gel

Dalacin and Zidoval are used to treat bacterial vaginosis (BV) effectively. Both of them have the same function and work at the site of infection within the vagina in the same manner. There is no difference between how they perform. They even contain the same active ingredients.
