[The treatment of vaginal mycosis with Orungal].

The authors report their results of the treatment of the vaginal mycosis with Orungal (Janssen-Cilag). Twenty two sexually active women are included in the study, all with clinical signs of fungal vaginitis. Microscopic examination of vaginal secretions and fungal cultures are performed for all of the patients. Twenty cultures show C.albicans as causing agent and 2-non-C.albicans. One-day treatment with Orungal 2 x 200 mg is prescribed. Control examination and mycologic cultures are performed on day 7-10 and 30 after treatment. In 20 patients (91%) there is not clinical signs and the cultures remains negatives. In 2 (9%) the signs of fungal vaginitis persists which evoke the giving of the same dose once again. Adverse reaction (nausea) has been notify by one woman.

CONCLUSIONS

The treatment with Orungal of the vaginal mycosis is highly effective, with minimal adverse reactions and very good acceptance by women.
