How Winclind-CT Vaginal Softgel Capsule Works

Winclind-CT Vaginal Softgel Capsule comprises two medicines, namely: 'Clindamycin' (antibiotic) and 'Clotrimazole' (antifungal). Clindamycin belongs to the lincomycin antibiotic group and works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which is required for bacterial survival.
