How it works
Clingen Forte Vaginal Capsule is a combination of Clindamycin, Clotrimazole, and Tinidazole. Clindamycin is an antibiotic that stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medicine that stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their protective covering. Tinidazole is also an antibiotic that kills other infectious microorganisms in addition to bacteria by damaging their DNA (the molecule that carries the genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism).
