Description

What is Dalacin 2% Cream?

Dalacin 2% cream is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial vaginosis. It helps to restore the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina. This medication comes in a cream form and is applied directly to the inside of the vagina.

Dalacin 2% Cream contains clindamycin phosphate, an antibiotic that effectively treats bacterial vaginosis by stopping the growth of certain bacteria in the vaginal area. It is supplied with applicators for ease of application, ensuring accurate dosing directly inside the vagina. A full course usually spans 3 to 7 days, during which the cream helps restore the natural bacterial balance.
