Vagilac

 Vagilac (vaginal capsules) (Vagilac)


Pharmachologic effect:
Vagilac - vaginal capsules containing bacteria that are beneficial to the vaginal microflora, including lactobacillus.
Vagilac helps to normalize the pH of the vagina, which leads to an increase in the growth of necessary microflora and a slowdown in the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
Streptococcus lactic acid creates the conditions for the development of lactic acid bacilli (lactobacilli). Between lactic streptococcus and lactobacilli, there are symbiotic relationships that play a significant role in the formation of normal microflora.
With intravaginal use, the components of the drug Vagilak are not absorbed into the systemic circulation. The colonization ability of the lactobacilli of the drug Vagilac is increased due to the presence of Streptococcus thermophilus in the drug.


Indications for use:
Vagilac is used for local treatment and prevention of vaginal microflora disorders, including those associated with diseases of bacterial and fungal etiology, as well as diseases caused by protozoa.


Mode of application:
Vagilak capsules are intended for intravaginal use. The Vagilak capsule is recommended to be administered deep into the vagina before bedtime in the supine position. It is necessary to carefully observe personal hygiene during the entire period of treatment with Vagilak.
