A three-day study with miconazole gelatin capsules in vaginal candidosis

One hundred (50 pregnant) women with vaginal candidosis (age range: 14–60 years) inserted 1 gelatin capsule, containing 400 mg of miconazole, into the vagina on 3 consecutive evenings. Excellent results (90–100% cure) were obtained for clinical symptoms (vaginal discharge, pruritus vulvae, dysuria, dyspareunia, eczematous aspect of vulva), microscopic examinations, and Nickerson's cultures. No adverse reactions were reported.
