Randomized trial

Abstract

This triple-blind randomized controlled trial (n=150) compared Calendula officinalis vaginal cream with clotrimazole for vaginal Candidiasis. Calendula vaginal cream was effective in treating vaginal Candidiasis, with a delayed but greater long-term effect than clotrimazole at the second follow-up, and improved sexual function similarly in both groups, supporting the antifungal and anti-inflammatory use of calendula.
