Interaction

Any product used intravaginally may reduce the spermicidal effect of the drug. The active ingredient, benzalkonium chloride, is destroyed by soap, so the use of genital soap, even in minimal amounts, is prohibited.

Special Instructions

Pharmatex is an effective contraceptive when used correctly. However, the spermicidal topical contraceptive method is always less effective than hormonal contraception, intrauterine devices, diaphragms, cervical caps or condoms.

The use of soap to wash the genitals is prohibited
2 hours before and 2 hours after intercourse, because soap destroys the active ingredient of Farmatex.

Toilet the external genitalia is possible only with plain water for both partners. Vaginal irrigation (douches) can be used not earlier than 2 hours after sexual intercourse.

With Farmatex injected into the vagina, you should not take a bath or swim in the sea, pools or bodies of water to avoid reducing its contraceptive effect.

If treatment with vaginal products is necessary, the use of Farmatex should be temporarily discontinued until the end of treatment.

This method of contraception does not protect against sexually transmitted infections or those caused by the human immunodeficiency virus. The only barrier contraceptive method you can use against these diseases is the condom.
