Hypersensitivity to active ingredients or any of the excipients.Population
Vaginal cream: Deeply administer in the vagina the content of an applicator once a day for at least six consecutive days, preferably in the evening before bedtime, or second prescription. In trichomoniasis, greater safety of therapeutic result occurs with the contemporary use of Metronidazole by mouth both in the non-pregnant woman and in the male partner. A supine position is recommended for optimal administration, with the legs slightly folded at the corner. To get better sterilization it is preferable to spread a little bit of MECLON vaginal cream also externally, at perivulva and perianal level. If the doctor prescribes the treatment of the partner for prophylactic purposes, the cream must be applied on the glans and on the foreskin for at least six days. Instructions for use: After filling with cream an applicator, administer the cream in the vagina by pressure on the piston, until completely emptying. Vaginal Solution: Administer the vaginal solution ready once a day, preferably in the morning, or second prescription. In the attack phase the use of the vaginal solution must be associated with adequate topical and/or oral therapy. Irrigation should be done preferably in supine position. A slow emptiness of the bottle will favour a longer stay in the vagina of the active ingredients and therefore a more effective antimicrobial and cleansing action. Instructions for use: After pouring the contents of the bottle into the bottle, insert the vaginal cannula on the neck of the bottle itself. Introduce the cannula into the vagina and administer the entire content.Conservation
Vaginal cream: does not require any particular condition for conservation. Vaginal Solution: do not store at temperature above 25°C.Warnings
Tell the patient to avoid contact with the eyes. The contemporary use of Metronidazole by mouth is subject to contraindications, side effects and warnings described for the above product. Avoid treatment with Meclon during the menstrual period. With metronidazole-containing medicines for systemic use, severe hepatotoxicity/acute liver failure was reported, including cases with fatal outcome, with very quick start after treatment in patients with Cockayne syndrome. Therefore, in this metronidazole population it must be used after careful assessment of the risk-benefit ratio and only in the absence of alternative treatments. The analysis of liver function must be carried out just before the start of therapy, during and after the end of treatment, until the parameters of liver function are returned to the norm or the values will not be reached at the base. If the values of liver function analysis should increase significantly during treatment, the drug must be stopped. Patients suffering from Cockayne syndrome should be advised of the need to immediately report to the doctor any symptoms of potential liver injury and to stop treatment with metronidazole.Interactions
