About Nilstat Vaginal Tablet 100000IU

• Relieves vaginal itching, discharge, and irritation linked to a fungal infection.

• Effective against Candida with minimal absorption into the rest of the body.
• Generally well tolerated, with side effects mostly limited to the local area.

What Experts Say

Local vaginal treatments like this tablet work by disrupting the fungal cell membrane right where the infection is, which is why very little of the medicine reaches the bloodstream compared with an oral antifungal. This local action is part of why side effects tend to stay mild and limited to the treated area.

Doctors emphasize finishing the entire course of nightly tablets rather than stopping once itching settles down, since an incompletely treated infection often returns within weeks. Recurrent yeast infections are common after a course of antibiotics or in women with poorly controlled diabetes, both of which disturb the normal vaginal environment that keeps Candida in check.

Vaginal candidiasis is one of the most frequent gynecological complaints among women in Pakistan, often self treated at first before a doctor is consulted. A short course of a local antifungal tablet like this one remains a first line option precisely because it treats the infection directly with a low chance of side effects elsewhere in the body.
