What is Magnathrocin?
Clindamycin is an antibiotic. Magnathrocin prevents bacteria from growing on the skin.
Magnathrocin (for the skin) is used to treat severe acne in adults and children who are at least 12 years old.
Magnathrocin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Magnathrocin indications
Magnathrocin 2%, is indicated in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (formerly referred to as Haemophilus vaginitis, Gardnerella vaginitis, nonspecific vaginitis, Corynebacterium vaginitis, or anaerobic vaginosis). Magnathrocin 2%, can be used to treat non-pregnant women and pregnant women during the second and third trimester.
NOTE: For purposes of this indication, a clinical diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis is usually defined by the presence of a homogeneous vaginal discharge that (a) has a pH of greater than 4.5, (b) emits a “fishy” amine odor when mixed with a 10% KOH solution, and (c) contains clue cells on microscopic examination. Gram's stain results consistent with a diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis include (a) markedly reduced or absent Lactobacillus morphology, (b) predominance of Gardnerella morphotype, and (c) absent or few white blood cells.
Other pathogens commonly associated with vulvovaginitis, eg, Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae, Candida albicans, and Herpes simplex virus should be ruled out.
How should I use Magnathrocin?
Use Magnathrocin as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Magnathrocin comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get Magnathrocin refilled.
- Do not use this product if the foil pouch that contains Magnathrocin is torn, open, or not sealed all the way.
- Insert into vagina at bedtime for 3 consecutive days.
- Once inside the vagina, Magnathrocin melts. Lie down as soon as possible to minimize leakage.
- Magnathrocin works best if it is used at the same time each day.
- To clear up your infection completely, use Magnathrocin for the full course of treatment. Keep using it even if you feel better in a few days.
- If you miss a dose of Magnathrocin and you are using it regularly, use it as soon as possible. If several hours have passed or if it is nearing time for the next dose, do not double the dose to catch up, unless advised by your health care provider. Do not use 2 doses at once. If more than one dose is missed, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Magnathrocin.
