For the treatment of various kinds of inflammatory diseases of the female reproductive system, drug therapy is used. Along with it, experts prescribe topical preparations that lead to a faster positive result. These are vaginal suppositories. Among others, synthomycin suppositories have proven themselves well in this regard.
Reviews about this drug are mostly positive. In gynecological practice, they have been used for more than a dozen years, have a powerful anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect. These suppositories belong to the drugs of the levomycetin group, they act equally well on gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, which are resistant to drugs such as sulfonamide, streptomycin and penicillin.
For any inflammatory diseases of a bacterial nature, syntamycin suppositories are used. The instruction to them states that the main indication for the appointment of suppositories is colpitis of bacterial origin. But in order to accurately determine the spectrum of their antibacterial activity, a study is required - bacteriological culture of a smear of vaginal discharge. This will determine the sensitivity of these bacteria to the antibiotic, as well as avoid the emergence of resistant strains.
It should be noted that synthomycin suppositories are not an antifungal drug and cannot correct the internal microflora of the vagina. They affect the entire spectrum of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, both harmful and beneficial to the body. In addition, the main antibiotic, which contains synthomycin suppositories, can cause the development of an allergic reaction, as well as an additional disease - thrush. In this connection, this drug to use in such situations is simply impractical.
Before starting treatment, it should be ascertained whether the patient has any drug allergies. And after its completion, it is important to conduct therapy that restores the normal natural microflora of the vagina. The duration of the therapeutic course should not exceed a period of ten days. During the first five days, you can find out the feasibility of such a treatment, and if necessary, continue or cancel it. If after the entire course a positive result has not been achieved, the specialist may prescribe the use of other drugs. Synthomycin suppositories are used in the amount of one piece, they are administered in the supine position, best of all at bedtime. In some cases, after consulting a specialist, you can use two suppositories, twice a day.
After or before the installation of the spiral, before abortion and gynecological surgery, as well as in the fight against purulent-inflammatory diseases, synthomycin suppositories are used. The instruction to them includes a number of contraindications, which are important to consider. First of all, this is a possible hypersensitivity to one of the components included in the preparation, the presence of fungal vaginal diseases, renal or liver failure. Also, suppositories cannot be used for deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and acute intermittent porphyria. Girls who have not yet entered the puberty, synthomycin suppositories are prohibited. In all of the above situations, as well as during pregnancy and lactation, the use of the drug must be agreed with the attending physician.
Due to the presence of a powerful anti-inflammatory effect, this drug is used in the treatment of hemorrhoids. It relieves inflammation and eliminates swelling. In this case, syntomycin suppositories are administered into the rectum at night. Patients who use the drug note that it copes well with bacteria, already on the second or third day there is noticeable relief, pain and other unpleasant symptoms disappear. Some argue that it is difficult to remove the suppositories from too tightly sealed packaging, you have to use scissors.
