DIZOLE ONE is used to treat a type of fungal infection called vaginal thrush.
DIZOLE ONE contains the active ingredient fluconazole, which belongs to a group of
medicines called azole antifungals. These medicines work by preventing the growth
of these fungi causing your infection.
What is vaginal thrush
Vaginal thrush is a common name for vaginal candidiasis, an infection caused by a
yeast-like fungus called Candida.
Candida is one of many organisms that live in the vagina. Your body's natural balance
(immune system) normally keeps Candida under control, but when this natural balance
is upset, Candida can multiply and can cause thrush symptoms.
Common symptoms of vaginal thrush include:
itching, burning or soreness around the vagina
cottage-cheese like discharge
swelling or irritation of the infected area.
Things that may help you to avoid thrush in the future:
wear cotton briefs, stockings and loose-fitting clothing rather than tight synthetic
clothing
wash regularly, but do not wash and dry yourself harshly
avoid perfumed soaps, bath additives and vaginal deodorants.
Your doctor or pharmacist may have more information on things you can do to avoid
thrush in the future.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why this medicine has been prescribed
for you.
Your doctor may have prescribed it for another reason.
There is no evidence that DIZOLE ONE is addictive.
DIZOLE ONE is a "Pharmacist Only Medicine". It is available without a doctor's prescription
but your pharmacist's advice is required.
DIZOLE ONE is not recommended for children under 18 years of age except under doctor
