Questions regarding Clomazole?
I went to the pharmacy yesterday and bought Clomazole 0.1g suppositories.
I inserted one, and the next day I experienced bleeding and abdominal pain.
Is this normal? Can I continue using the medication?

Hello, Miss: Clomazole vaginal tablets are indicated for leukorrhea and vaginitis.
Common side effects include local burning, irritation, and rash.
Currently, you are experiencing bleeding and abdominal pain.
It is advisable to bring this medication and consult a professional gynecologist as soon as possible.
After an examination by the physician, the medication can be used according to your condition, which would be more appropriate.
Wishing you good health and safety.

More Info
Bleeding and abdominal pain after using Clomazole can be concerning and may not be considered normal. Clomazole, an antifungal medication commonly used to treat vaginal yeast infections, can cause some side effects, including local irritation, burning, or discomfort. However, the symptoms you are experiencing—bleeding and abdominal pain—are not typical side effects associated with this medication.
It is important to understand that while Clomazole is effective in treating fungal infections, it does not address other potential underlying issues that could be causing your symptoms. The presence of bleeding, especially if it is not associated with your menstrual cycle, and abdominal pain could indicate a more serious condition, such as an infection, inflammation, or even a potential miscarriage if you are of reproductive age.
Given your symptoms, it is advisable to stop using Clomazole and consult a healthcare professional, preferably a gynecologist, as soon as possible. They can perform a thorough examination and possibly conduct tests to determine the cause of your bleeding and abdominal pain. Continuing to use the medication without understanding the underlying cause of your symptoms could lead to further complications.
In addition, if you have recently engaged in sexual activity, it is also important to consider that this could contribute to your symptoms. Sometimes, sexual intercourse can cause irritation or even minor injuries to the vaginal area, which might lead to bleeding. However, this should be evaluated by a healthcare provider to rule out any serious conditions.
In summary, while Clomazole is generally safe and effective for treating yeast infections, the symptoms you are experiencing are not typical and warrant further investigation. Please seek medical attention promptly to ensure your health and well-being. It is always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to unusual symptoms, especially those involving bleeding and pain.
