Pills from thrush

Tablets from thrush are medicines that effectively fight with fungi of the genus Candida, affecting the mucous membranes of organs. Let's look at the most popular and effective tablets from thrush, the principle of their action, indications, contraindications and possible side effects.

Thrush is an insidious disease, which affects both adults and children. As a rule, the disease affects the mucous membranes of the genital organs and the oral cavity. Fungi of the genus Candida are always present on the mucous membranes, but the body's immune system does not allow them to penetrate inside. Once the protective functions of the immune system are reduced, the fungus penetrates the mucous membranes, and causes a disease called candidiasis or thrush. The immune system can reduce its protective functions due to diseases, both chronic and seasonal (colds, allergies) or the presence of pathologies in the body's work.

The main symptom of thrush is reddening of the mucous membranes, puffiness, the appearance of a white or yellowish coating of curdled consistency. If you remove the plaque without treatment, then on the affected surface of the mucosa will remain erosion. It causes severe itching and painful sensations, so the disease requires compulsory treatment.

To date, there are many drugs that help cure the disease. But self-medication is not recommended, because only after taking the tests, medical consultation and examination can get an effective treatment. In addition, self-medication does not give the desired results and can aggravate the course of the disease. All drugs that are used for treatment are divided into two groups:

1. External application - ointments, solutions, creams, suppositories (suppositories), vaginal tablets. Such drugs are made on the basis of substances such as clotrimazole, miconazole, levorin, nystanine. Drugs effectively cope with fresh fungal lesions. The course of treatment is individual, but, as a rule, does not take more than 14 days. The main advantages of such treatment are a quick therapeutic effect, a minimum of side effects and safety of treatment. Disadvantage - effectiveness can only be in the treatment of mild forms of the disease, inconvenience to use drugs.
2. For oral administration, that is, pills for thrush. Such treatment is used in relapsing form or diseases with severe course. Tablets from the yeast block the synthesis of sterol in the cells of the infection, which prevents the fungus from multiplying. Some drugs destroy fungi. The disadvantage of such treatment is the possible side effects, addiction to the drug and the transition of the disease to a chronic form.

When a disease occurs, it is very important to seek medical help. Since without proper and effective treatment, the disease will constantly recur, and cause more painful and unpleasant symptoms. Of course, one tablet will hardly solve the problem with pathology, so an integrated approach to treatment is needed. Let's consider, in what cases, the use of tablets from thrush is justified.

• Ineffective treatment with douches, applications and other local remedies.
• The disease has a chronic form and recurs with the slightest damage to the immune system.
• The generalized form of candidiasis - occurs against a weakened immune system and diseases of the body. Characterized by a chronic form of the disease, it affects not only the mucous membranes.
