Lomexin 200 mg soft vaginal capsules N3. For the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis in adolescents and adults

Last updated on September 30, 2025

Each Lomexin 200 mg soft vaginal capsule contains Fenticonazole nitrate 200 mg. Fenticonazole is a broad-spectrum antimycotic agent with high fungistatic and fungicidal activity against dermatophytes (all species of Trichophyton, Microsporum, Epidermophyton), Candida albicans and other mycotic agents of the skin and the mucosa. Fenticonazole has also an antibacterial activity against Gram positive bacteria and an antiparasitic action against Trichomonas vaginalis. It exerts its antimycotic activity by inhibiting the secretion of protease acid by Candida albicans, damaging the cytoplastic membrane and blocking cytochrome oxidase and peroxidases.
