Mazocan Vaginal Suppository is a combination of two medicines: Clindamycin and Miconazole. Clindamycin is an antibiotic which stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Miconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from making their protective covering. Together, they treat your infection effectively.

Mazocan Vaginal Suppository is inserted into the vagina using an applicator, usually at night before going to bed. Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Avoid contact with your eyes. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. It may cause minor burning, stinging, or irritation when applied. Inform your doctor if this does not go away. It can damage condoms and diaphragms and make them ineffective at preventing pregnancy. Ask your doctor about other suitable methods of preventing pregnancy. Inform your doctor if your symptoms do not get improved within 3 days of taking the medicine.
