What Causes Candidal Vulvovaginitis While On Anti Tuberculosis Medication?
Hi, i have been diagonised with candidial vulvovaginitis and have been advised to use clingen forte. I have been suffering with itching for over a month. Please advise on following matters :
1. Further for your knowledge I am also under Anti Tuberculosis Medication - 8 months. Please advise what could have caused candidial vulvovaginitis.
2. When I read the instruction on the tablet pamphlet I understand that this should be taken when patient is not responding to other therapies. I have not been under any other medicine before this for vulvovaginitis. Is it safe to use this medicine. After reading the pamphlet i am more worried as it has mentioned lots of side effects. Please advise

Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and can say as following:
1. Candida is part of normal flora of the vagina. Its overgrowth as in your case might be triggered when antibiotics are used or when immunity is low as in your case being treated with anti-tubercular medications.
2. Clingen forte is a combination of both antibiotics and anti-fungal medications that would help improve your vulvovaginitis symptoms (Clindamycin, Clotrimazole and Tinidazole)
To my opinion, that's a perfect choice to treat your vulvovaginitis considering your actual health problems. I advise to use it as advised by your doctor wishing fast recovery!
