Hello... I was prescribed polygynax for 7 days. When I picked up the medication, I only received 6 pills, 2 of which I took orally before realizing they are a suppository. So now I only have 4 left... is it ok to take only the 4? I cannot buy this where I live
Hi. It is not effective to treat vaginal infection if taken orally. Polygonal (Aureomycin, Statin and Polymyxin-B) suppository is actually made to treat localized mixed vaginal infection caused by susceptible fungus and bacteria. It is found to be effective only if used at the site of infection such as vagina. When taken orally by mistake it will not serve the purpose of eradicating the vaginal infection. So, it must be taken as a vaginal suppository. Generally it is found to be effective if taken for at least 3-4 days, so you may continue to take it, if there is no improvement you may consult your doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
