Gynoflor E, vaginal tablets 6 pcs

Gynoflor E is an antimicrobial and antiseptic agent used in gynecology. It contains active substances identical to those naturally found in the human vagina. A healthy vagina is in a state of biological balance and has a natural defense mechanism against infections.

Lactobacilli bacteria are a major part of this defense mechanism; they produce lactic acid and other substances that have anti-infective effects. The production of lactic acid results in an acidic environment that promotes Lactobacilli bacteria and inhibits the development of pathogens.

Disruption or destruction of the vaginal lactic acid flora can occur due to treatment with certain drugs (e.g. antibiotics), due to local infections, serious systemic diseases or improper hygiene measures (vaginal rinses and showers). Gynoflor E contains high doses of viable Lactobacilli bacteria to help restore the natural vaginal flora. In addition to the natural flora, the condition of the vaginal epithelium is very important for the natural defense mechanism of the vagina. It can be damaged by fluctuating or deficient hormone levels (especially during or after menopause) and vaginal infections.

The second active ingredient in Gynoflor E is estriol, which is the natural female sex hormone. Estriol, even in the very low dose contained in Gynoflora E, ensures restoration of the vaginal epithelium, good blood circulation in it, sufficient thickness, elasticity and its hydration. It is also important for the development of Lactobacilli bacteria in the vagina. Both Lactobacilli bacteria and estriol act locally in the vagina.

The lactose in the vaginal tablets can be quickly fermented by Lactobacilli bacteria into lactic acid. Thus, after the first use of the drug, the reproduction and recolonization of Lactobacilli bacteria begins.

Indications

To restore the Lactobacillus flora after treatment with certain medications (eg antibiotics);
for the treatment of local disorders during and after menopause (vaginal dryness, itching, burning, pain during sexual intercourse) and as a concomitant treatment during systemic hormone replacement therapy;
for the treatment of vaginal discharge of unknown origin or mild to moderate cases of vaginal infections for which the use of antibiotics or chemotherapy is not strictly necessary.

Pharmacological effect

Gynoflor E is an antimicrobial and antiseptic agent that is used in gynecology. Contains active substances identical to those naturally found in the human vagina. A healthy vagina is in a state of biological balance and has a natural defense mechanism against infections.

Lactobacilli bacteria form a major part of this defense mechanism, producing lactic acid and other substances that have an anti-infective effect. The production of lactic acid results in the formation of an acidic environment, which promotes the development of Lactobacilli bacteria and inhibits the development of pathogenic microorganisms.

Disturbance or destruction of the vaginal fermented milk flora can occur as a result of treatment with certain drugs (eg, antibiotics), due to local infections, serious systemic diseases or improper hygiene measures (vaginal rinses and douches). Gynoflor E contains high doses of viable Lactobacilli bacteria, which help restore the natural flora of the vagina. In addition to the natural flora, the condition of the vaginal epithelium is very important for the natural protective mechanism of the vagina. It can be damaged by fluctuating or deficient hormone levels (especially during or after menopause) and vaginal infections.

The second active substance of Gynoflora E is estriol, which is a natural female sex hormone. Estriol, even in a very low dose contained in Gynoflora E, ensures restoration of the vaginal epithelium, good blood circulation in it, sufficient thickness, elasticity and hydration. It is also important for the development of Lactobacilli bacteria in the vagina. Both Lactobacilli bacteria and estriol act locally in the vagina.

The lactose contained in vaginal tablets can be quickly fermented by Lactobacilli bacteria into lactic acid. Thus, after the first use of the drug, the reproduction and recolonization of Lactobacilli bacteria begins.

Special instructions

If you experience unexpected vaginal bleeding, treatment should be stopped and your doctor should investigate the cause of the bleeding.

During treatment with Gynoflor E, do not use vaginal douches or rinses Gynoflor E contains components that are not completely broken down; tablet remnants can sometimes be found on underwear. This does not affect the effectiveness of the drug.

In isolated cases, if the vagina is very dry, the vaginal tablet may not dissolve and may come out of the vagina in its original form. In this case, the treatment is not optimal, although it does not harm the vagina. To prevent such cases, the tablet can be moistened with a small amount of plain water before administration.

During treatment with Gynoflor E, pads should be used.

Pregnancy

The experience of using Gynoflor E during pregnancy does not indicate any undesirable effects on pregnancy or the health of the fetus of the newborn child.

The active substances, Lactobacillus acidophilus and estriol, are naturally found in the vagina, and after using Gynoflor, levels of both substances did not exceed those in healthy women.
