Clinical Pharmacology
Pharmaco-therapeutic group: Antiseptic
pharmachologic effect
Lactic acid is a natural product of the life of the lactic acid bacteria of the vagina, provides a vaginal secretion pH in the range of 3.5-4.5. Suppositories with lactic acid help restore and maintain normal pH and vaginal flora, suppress the growth of acid-sensitive pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic flora.
Lactic acid creates an acid reserve for the correction of the shift in pH in the alkaline direction observed in vaginal infections. It helps to increase the natural protection of the vagina from genital infections.
Pharmacokinetics
Information about the pharmacokinetics are not available.
Indications
Normalization of impaired microflora and vaginal pH, incl. with bacterial vaginosis (as part of complex therapy).
Composition
One suppository contains: active ingredient - lactic acid 100 mg (based on 100% substance); excipients: suppository base - macrogol 1500 (polyethylene oxide 1500), macrogol 400 (polyethylene oxide 400).
No customer reviews for the moment.
Dosage and Administration
Intravaginally. Before use, the suppository is released from the contour packaging. One vaginal suppository is inserted into the vagina (supine with slightly bent legs) 1 time / day. The course of treatment is 10 days.
Adverse reactions
There may be allergic reactions, itching, in rare cases - a burning sensation in the vagina, taking place after discontinuation of the drug.
Contraindications
- Candida vulvovaginitis;
- pregnancy;
- breastfeeding period;
- children's age (up to 18 years);
- hypersensitivity to the drug.
Drug interactions
No information available.
Pregnancy and Lactation
Use during pregnancy is contraindicated, because clinical trials in pregnant women were not conducted.
Information on the penetration into breast milk is not available. Use during breastfeeding.
Special instructions
If there is a burning sensation and itching, it is recommended to conduct an examination to exclude a fungal infection of the vagina.
Overdosage
No cases of drug overdose have been reported.
