Indication / Yeast infection treatment BIOFANAL 500,000 IU application

  • The preparation is a specific agent against yeasts (Candida albicans and other Candida species) for the treatment of yeast infections in the gastrointestinal area.

Yeast infection treatment BIOFANAL 500,000 IU dosage

  • Always take this medicine exactly as described here or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
  • Unless otherwise prescribed by your doctor, the usual dose is:
    • Take 1–2 coated tablets 3 times a day (equivalent to 500,000–1,000,000 IU nystatin); the maximum dose is therefore 6 coated tablets per day (corresponding to 3,000,000 IU nystatin).

 

  • Duration of application
    • The usual duration of treatment is 2 weeks. However, the preparation should be taken for at least 2 days after the symptoms have subsided.

 

  • If you take more than you should:
    • Symptoms of poisoning are hardly to be expected even if the drug is overdosed, as the active ingredient nystatin contained in the preparation only passes into the bloodstream in small amounts when administered orally. The possible consequences of an overdose are nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. In any case, notify a doctor if you suspect an overdose!

 

  • If you forget to take a dose:
    • You can subsequently take the too little coated tablets all at once on the same day.
    • However, the recommended maximum dose of 6 coated tablets per day should not be exceeded.

 

  • If you stop taking:
    • To achieve the desired therapeutic success, please adhere to the recommended duration of treatment or to the instructions for use prescribed by a doctor. Treatment should not be interrupted or prematurely terminated without consulting a doctor.

 

  • If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
