Vaginal issues


I took Ningtai tablets a couple of days ago, but can I engage in sexual activity tonight? If I do, what should I be aware of?

Dr. Yang Wangjun reply Obstetrics and Gynecology


Hello: Ningtaisi vaginal suppository is a medication used to treat vaginal candidiasis.
Typically, the medication inserted the day before should be fully absorbed by the following evening, so it is safe to engage in sexual intercourse.
If it has not been fully absorbed, the male partner may absorb a small amount of the medication during intercourse, but this is not a concern.
After intercourse, you can insert the dose for today.
Thank you for your message!

More Info


When it comes to the use of Nintai tablets (which contain the active ingredient Clonazepam), it is important to consider both the pharmacological effects of the medication and the potential implications for sexual activity. Nintai, or Clonazepam, is a medication primarily used to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and certain types of seizures. It belongs to a class of medications known as benzodiazepines, which work by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, leading to a calming effect.

After taking Nintai, it is generally advisable to wait until the medication has cleared from your system before engaging in sexual activity. The half-life of Clonazepam is approximately 30 to 40 hours, meaning that it can take several days for the drug to be fully eliminated from your body, depending on factors such as dosage, frequency of use, and individual metabolism. During this time, you may experience side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, or impaired coordination, which could affect your ability to engage in sexual activity safely and comfortably.

If you have taken Nintai two days ago, it is likely that the medication is still present in your system, and you may still be experiencing some of its sedative effects. Engaging in sexual activity while under the influence of benzodiazepines can lead to decreased arousal, impaired judgment, and an increased risk of accidents or injuries. Additionally, the combination of sexual activity and the sedative effects of the medication could lead to an increased risk of respiratory depression, especially if alcohol or other sedatives are also involved.

If you are considering having intercourse after using Nintai, it is essential to assess how you feel. If you are still feeling drowsy, dizzy, or otherwise impaired, it may be best to wait until you feel more alert and clear-headed. Communication with your partner is also crucial; ensure that both of you are comfortable and consenting to engage in sexual activity.

Moreover, if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications, it is wise to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice. They can provide guidance based on your specific situation, including any potential interactions with other medications or health concerns that may arise from sexual activity while on Nintai.

In summary, while it may be possible to have intercourse after using Nintai tablets, it is essential to consider the timing, your current state of mind and body, and any potential risks involved. Prioritize your safety and well-being, and do not hesitate to seek professional medical advice if you have any concerns or questions regarding your health and medication use.
