1. What Gynoxin Uno is and what it is used for
Gynoxin Uno contains the active substance fenticonazole, which is an imidazole derivative with broad-spectrum antifungal activity, including against yeasts. Fenticonazole also has antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Treatment of mixed vaginal infections.
Gynoxin Uno is intended for use in adults and adolescents above the age of 16.
Patients over the age of 60 should consult a doctor before use.
The Gynoxin Uno vaginal capsule is intended for vaginal use only. It must not be taken orally.
Only a doctor can reliably diagnose fungal infection and determine microbial sensitivity to fenticonazole. Please refer to section 2 of this leaflet for information on when to speak with a doctor before using the medicine.
