Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most side effects are mild and go away quickly. Sometimes, symptoms of vaginal infections (such as itching, discharge, or burning) may get worse before improving. If symptoms continue, consult a doctor.
Other possible side effects include vaginal bleeding, vaginal pain, inflammation of the vagina, headache, and nausea.

Dekalin VT is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding since Dekalin VT works locally and is not expected to harm the unborn or breastfed infant. However, Dekalin VT should only be used if necessary and recommended by a doctor.
Precautions & Warnings
Avoid using soaps, spermicides, and vaginal douches (vaginal washes) during treatment. Treatment should be stopped during heavy menstrual bleeding and resumed afterward. Unprotected sexual intercourse should be avoided during treatment. Vaginal tablets should not be used within 12 hours before delivery to minimize exposure to the newborn.
Overdose Effects
Using too many vaginal tablets may cause vaginal ulcers. If an overdose occurs, consult a doctor. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed tablet. Treatment should not be stopped early, even if symptoms have improved.
