Womazol 1gm Tablet

About

Womazol 1gm Tablet is an antiparasitic and antifungal medication widely used to treat a variety of infections caused by susceptible organisms. Its primary mechanism of action involves disrupting the DNA structure and inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis in anaerobic bacteria and certain parasites, leading to their death. For fungal infections, it typically interferes with the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes, thereby compromising the integrity of the fungal cell and inhibiting its growth. This dual action makes Womazol a versatile agent in clinical practice.

The broad spectrum of activity of Womazol makes it effective against a range of conditions, including bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, giardiasis, amoebiasis, and certain anaerobic bacterial infections. It is also used in the treatment of various fungal infections, particularly those affecting the skin, nails, and mucous membranes. Due to its systemic absorption, it can effectively reach infection sites throughout the body. Patients should be advised on the importance of completing the full course of treatment to prevent recurrence and the development of resistance. Close monitoring for gastrointestinal side effects and potential drug interactions is recommended.
