Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics <

Miristalkonium chloride is both a spermicidal and an antiseptic. The spermicidal effect is due to the ability of the active substance to destroy the membranes of sperm cells (first flagella, then heads), which leads to the inability to fertilize the egg with damaged sperm.
The effect develops 10 minutes after inserting the pill into the vagina.

The use of the drug Farmatex significantly reduces the risk of pregnancy, but does not eliminate it completely.

Pharmatex has no effect on normal vaginal microflora (including Döderlein bacillus).

Pharmatex has no effect on the menstrual cycle, libido or fertility.

In vitro myristalconium chloride is active against Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia spp., Trichomonas vaginalis, Herpes simplex type 2, Staphylococcus aureus. It has no effect on Mycoplasma spp. and weak effect on Gardnerella vaginalis, Candida albicans, Haemophilus ducreyi and Treponema pallidum.

Pharmacokinetics

The absorption of myristalconium chloride by the vaginal mucosa is very low. The drug is removed from the mucosal surface by simple washing with water and normal physiological secretions.

Special Instructions
Special Instructions
Pharmatex is an effective contraceptive when used correctly. However, spermicidal topical contraception is always less effective than hormonal contraception, intrauterine devices, diaphragms, cervical caps or condoms.
The use of genital soap is prohibited 2 hours before and 2 hours after sexual intercourse because soap destroys the active ingredient in Farmatex.
Toilet the external genitalia is only possible 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.
