Lactagel vaginal gel tubes for single use 5 ml No. 7

Lactagel - instructions for use

Registration number: Federal Law No. 2010/08335 dated November 13, 2010

Compound

1 tube contains: lactic acid 225 mg, glycogen, propylene glycol, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium lactate, water

pH 3.8

Bacteria of various groups are naturally found in the vagina, with lactobacilli usually present in the largest quantities. Lactobacilli, processing glycogen coming from vaginal epithelial cells, produce lactic acid, thereby maintaining a normal low pH value in the vagina, which is unsuitable for the development of pathogenic bacteria and fungi. This is a natural and very effective defense mechanism against infections.

If the number of lactobacilli decreases and the pH level rises, the “bad” bacteria multiply. This condition is called bacterial vaginosis (BV). The main symptoms associated with BV include foul odor, abnormal discharge, and vaginal discomfort. BV is a very common vaginal condition.

Factors contributing to the development of bacterial vaginosis:

• Prolonged menstruation
• Antibiotic courses
• Frequent and excessive use of intimate hygiene products
• Unprotected sexual intercourse (sperm can change the pH of the vagina to the alkaline side)
• Using an intrauterine device (IUD, commonly called an IUD)

Often, women who experience symptoms of bacterial vaginosis independently resort to douching, associating the unpleasant odor with insufficient hygiene. At the same time, douching causes an even greater exacerbation of bacterial vaginosis, since during douching the normal microflora is washed away, replaced by opportunistic bacteria.

What is Lactagel?

Lactagel is a gel containing lactic acid and glycogen.

Lactic acid helps lower the vaginal pH (i.e., creating a more acidic environment).

Glycogen is a nutrient medium necessary for the reproduction of lactobacilli.

By normalizing pH values ​​and creating appropriate conditions for the proliferation of lactobacilli,

Lactagel restores the natural environment in the vagina and eliminates symptoms: heavy discharge, discomfort and unpleasant odor.

Lactagel is available in tubes for single use. To open the tube, twist the cap and remove it.

Insert the tip of the tube completely into the vagina. Squeeze the walls of the tube. While still squeezing, remove the tube.

After this, the tube can be thrown away.

It is best to use Lactagel before bed, as some of the gel may leak out. It is recommended to use sanitary pads for linen.

Use during pregnancy

Lactagel can be used during pregnancy, however, if you suspect a vaginal infection during pregnancy, it is recommended to consult a doctor.

LACTAGEL (gel)

let's say candida or not, he will see, he will write candidiasis, he will not see, he will not write.
And bacterial culture is when your smear is placed in a Petri dish and filled with a nutrient medium and they see what grows after 7 days, what has grown, both good and bad, that’s what it is, this is much more indicative, plus bacterial culture gives data such as what drugs kill the pathogenic flora, that is, after bacterial culture, the gynecologist will not prescribe you something for thrush, but a drug whose active ingredient can 100% kill candida or whatever is sown in you. Of course, if you have candidiasis, you will not wait 7-10 days, you will simply be treated, but if we are talking about vaginal flora, then bacterial culture is necessary to determine its composition and quality.

The problem is that according to compulsory medical insurance, bacterial culture is done only for pregnant women and those who are undergoing surgery; everyone else is given a regular smear, which shows the presence of pathogenic flora. The smear does not give any idea about the presence or absence of your native and beneficial vaginal flora. Accordingly, when drugs are prescribed to restore healthy vaginal flora, no one knows whether it is actually damaged. You will say, of course it’s disturbed, because “there” everything cuts, itches, hurts, I will answer you that the unpleasant symptoms are only indirect confirmation that your healthy flora is fighting the pathogenic flora, it has not gone away and is certainly not disturbed, This is a normal reaction of microphora to a pathogen, naturally you need to help it, and start using antifungal drugs (if we are talking about candidiasis)

Regarding the effect of lactogel. So they prescribed it to me, in the complex therapy of candidiasis (thrush) they didn’t take any tests, which means I don’t know if my natural flora is disturbed, then I was treated with it, again no one tested the flora, the symptoms just went away, supposedly it means I was cured. Naturally, there is no candida in the smears, but I treated the candida with antifungal agents, naturally it is not there. But no one can say what happened and what happened to my vaginal flora (the healthy one), since there were no tests, but the symptoms went away, as a result, the lactogel has a placebo effect, it is prescribed just like that, in addition, no one controls whether Effect. And after 28 days, at the beginning of a new cycle, thrush started again, that is, my “flora restored by lactogel” did not protect me.

What can I say, this product doesn’t even have a normal annotation, the piece of paper inside the box does not look like an annotation for a medicinal product, but like a brochure for a dietary supplement) Pharmacokinetics are not described) “bad” bacteria are mentioned, reminds scientific pop). The manufacturer is either not a pharmacist himself, or is treating us like stupid), or maybe there is no pharmacokinetics, which is quite possible.

Next comes the moment of truth, the photo shows that the manufacturer does not promise any “cure” for bacterial vaginosis, it (lactogel) relieves the symptoms, in other words, we inject ourselves with lactic acid and hope that the “necessary” one will grow in this environment us"" flora. But there are no guarantees.

It contains only two active ingredients: lactic acid and glycogen; the rest are auxiliary substances to create a gel)

The administration of the gel is convenient due to good packaging

As a result, if you have an extra 600 rubles that you are willing to spend on your psychological comfort, you can purchase lactogel. But it’s better to just treat your gynecological diseases and strengthen your immune system. Take my word for it, if everything is fine with you, then your vaginal flora will not die from antibiotics and antifungal agents, and if you already have bacterial vaginosis, take a smear for bacterial culture and find out what, how and why, this will help you find an adequate, and the main effective remedy.
