Abstract
In an evaluation of 3 different treatment regimens, miconazole-coated tampons proved to be effective for the relief of vulvovaginal candidal infection. A mycological and clinical cure rate of about 93% was achieved in patients treated with 1 tampon twice daily (up to a total of 15 tampons); 61% of patients were mycologically cured with a regimen of 1 tampon daily for only 5 days. Reinfection rates were < 4% with all 3 regimens. The tampons were well accepted by all the patients.
