    <abstract language="eng">It has been a significant increase in the incidence of vulvovaginitis candidiasis in recent
years. The rising prevalence of Candida albicans antimyotic resistance increased the need for
new and safe drugs for the treatment of vulvovaginitis candidiasis. In this randomized, triple blind
clinical trial of 90 non-pregnant women infected with Candidal vulvovaginitis were placed in two
groups of Clotrimazole Vaginal Cream and Black Zira (N=45 and Clotrimazole Vaginal Cream and
placebo (N = 45). Both groups were treated for 7 days. At the beginning of study, Clinical and
laboratory signs and symptoms were registered 4 and 7 days after treatment by questionnaire,
observation form and secretions medium culture results. Data were analyzed by chi-square,
McNamar, Mann–Whitney and t- tests through SPSS version 21.There was a statistically significant
difference in vaginal itching, irritation, soreness after the treatment between the two groups and
much more in the study group (P Â 0.001). However, the culture and wet mount (with KOH) results
showed much improvement in the study group after treatment. The use of Zira Capsule with
Clotrimazole vaginal cream was found more effective than Clotrimazole vaginal cream alone, in
most common symptoms and signs of this vaginitis. Therefore, Zira capsule is suggested for the
treatment of Candida albicans Vaginitis.</abstract>
