Vagilac (candles) is widely used in gynecological practice. This drug is developed on the basis of live lactobacilli and is used to treat and prevent vaginal dysbiosis, as well as treat inflammation.
Vagilak: description of the medication
Each vaginal suppository contains live strains of lactobacilli, as well as starch, petroleum jelly and other auxiliary means that are used in the manufacture of suppositories.
Penetrating into the body, bacteria begin to actively synthesize lactic acid, which creates a normal acidic environment characteristic of the vagina. In addition, the drug normalizes the condition of the mucous membrane, improves blood circulation and protective mechanisms, as a result of which the tissues become less susceptible to the harmful effects of infection. Under the influence of the drug, the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria is inhibited and at the same time the number of normal microorganisms characteristic of healthy microflora increases.
