Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 240909 0
Assessment of clinical and microbiologic cure with the use of vaginal cream tetracycline and amphotericin B for treatment of bacterial vaginosis and/or isolated or mixed vaginal candidiasis. Bacterial vaginosis will be evaluated by Amsel and Nugent criteria.
Timepoint [1] 240909 0
Evaluation will be measured in visit 1 (selection and iniciation of the treatmen), visit 2 (week 2 - after treatment), visit 3 (week 4 - follow-up). The patients will be evaluated through the clinical cure evidence.
Secondary outcome [1] 257616 0
Evaluation of both treatments safety and tolerability by assessment of patient adverse events reports (serious and non serious events) that occurred during the study period. Vaginal drugs rarely presents alergic reactions or other adverse event, however every single adverse event presented during the study (28 days - Visit 1, treatment period and follow up period) will be followed. The adverse events will be assessed by patient reports during each study visit and/or patient contact at any time. Non serious adverse events will be recorded at the Case Report Form (CRF) and serious adverse events will be recorded at a special serious adverse event report form (e.g. Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS)
Timepoint [1] 257616 0
Adverse event will be evaluated during all study (28 days): after visit 1 (day 1), visit 2 (day 14) and visit 3 (day 28).
Secondary outcome [2] 257843 0
Identify and assess adherence to treatment and preferences.
The adherence will be assessed asking to patients keep all supplies and bring back to visit when site staff will verify if the medication was used correctly. The patients will receive a box with 3 ovules + applicator (for 3 days of treatment) or a box with a tube + applicator (for 7 days of treatment) and has to bring it empty.
To assess the preference, the patient will be asked how she felt using that medication (unconfortable, ease to applicate, etc.). The patients will use only one medication in the study and the preference will be measured comparing the answers between them.
Timepoint [2] 257843 0
The adherence and preference of treatment will be asked in visit 2.
