Dalacin is an antibiotic vaginal cream that’s used to treat bacterial vaginosis (BV). It contains cindamycin phosphate, an antibiotic that’s also used to treat a variety of other infections, including those of the blood and lungs, and skin conditions like acne. Cindamycin works by stopping bacteria from growing.
Dalacin Cream is applied directly into your vagina, and can be used for different durations depending on the severity of your BV infection.
Bacterial vaginosis is caused by a change in your body’s natural bacteria balance. Why this happens isn’t clear, but your chances of the condition developing are increased by factors such as:
Using an Intrauterine device (IUD) for contraception
Using perfumed soaps or products on your genitals
Being sexually active or changing partners
Even though it’s not a sexually transmitted infection (STI), you might be at risk of developing one if you have bacterial vaginosis. Your clinician will probably recommend a test for both to get a clearer picture of your vaginal health.
Dalacin is a white, semi-solid cream that’s applied directly into your vagina every day for a week. (Though sometimes it can be used for fewer days.) A clinician will advise you about the best way to use Dalacin to treat your BV.
Vaginal health is maintained by bacteria called lactobacilli. Lactobacilli work by keeping pathogens in check and preventing them from causing you harm. When your vaginal ‘ecosystem’ is disrupted and the balance of bacteria is compromised, it can lead to infections such as BV.
Dalacin works by destroying harmful bacteria, and restoring your vagina’s natural pH level.
The usual dose of Dalacin is one applicator full, which is around 5 grams. You place it into your vagina (following the instructions provided in the leaflet) each night, at bedtime, for seven consecutive days.
You should always wash your hands before using the cream, and complete the full course of treatment as advised.
How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body. Read more in our editorial policy.
Dalacin should be used the same way each time you use it:
You should always wash your hands well after using Dalacin. When disposing of each applicator, wrap it in paper and put it in the bin rather than flushing it down the toilet.
Your bacterial vaginosis should clear within a week of using Dalacin. If a clinician decides you can use it for less time based on your symptoms, they’ll let you know. A full course of treatment lasts seven days, and if used correctly should allow the cream to kill the infection completely.
Dalacin should clear your infection and allow you to carry on with your usual routines in comfort.
If your BV shows no signs of improvement after applying the cream for seven consecutive days, get in touch and we can discuss other ways of treating your condition. It could be that you’re not using the applicator in the right way, or that you’re not responding well to this particular antibiotic.
