The drug is produced in Russia and is characterized as a powerful antimicrobial agent that can have a detrimental effect on the simplest microorganisms. Suppositories for intravaginal administration contribute to the elimination of pathogenic microflora, which parasitizes against the background of a number of pathological processes in the organs of the urinary system, as well as the reproductive system. The medication is mainly used in gynecological practice, although it has a much broader effect.
For which diseases Osarbon suppositories are prescribed, many are interested.
Doctors, like patients, respond positively to the effect of the drug on the body. The drug actually has no contraindications and extremely rarely leads to the development of adverse reactions. According to reviews of Osarbon suppositories from experts, the drug is safe for the female body. Let’s figure it out.
Structure
It is produced in the form of suppositories intended for intravaginal administration. The drug is combined and includes several active components at once, including:
- Acetarsol
- Dextrose.
- Boric acid.
In addition to the active substances, the composition is supplemented with auxiliary components, the purpose of which is to keep the drug in the necessary solid torpedo form.
In one package there are five suppositories located in special contour cells. Osarbon can be purchased at the pharmacy after the appointment of a doctor. The drug is stored for three years, after which it must be disposed of, it is not recommended to use candles after this period, since in the best case the effect of their use will be absent.
Suppositories should be stored in a cool and dark place that is not accessible to children. It is not recommended to freeze Osarbon, since in this case all the healing properties of the drug are lost. You should not store the drug at a temperature exceeding 25 degrees, since suppositories can melt or lose their shape, which will make it impossible to use them for their intended purpose.
The properties
Atsertasol, being the main active component of the drug, has an inhibitory effect on sulfhydryl enzyme production systems. In addition, this substance contributes to metabolic disorders in the cells of the simplest microorganisms, as well as some varieties of spirochetes. To prevent the intoxication process that occurs during therapy with the drug, it is important to maintain an acidic environment in the vagina.
Glucose in the composition of suppositories is a nutrient medium for beneficial lactobacilli, which are normally present in large quantities in the vaginal microflora. Bacteria have the property of converting glucose to lactic acid, which allows you to maintain the acidic environment of the vagina at a normal level. Boric acid, which is included in the composition of the drug, also performs similar functions to glucose, allowing you to maintain an acidic vaginal environment at the proper level.
So it is told in the application instruction for Osarbon candles. Reviews about them are mostly positive.

Instruction manual
Before use, the suppository is freed from contour packaging. Then the woman takes a lying position and inserts a candle deep into the vagina. The standard dosage is one suppository per day. According to the instructions, it is necessary to lie down for some time after the introduction of the suppository, therefore it is recommended to carry out the procedure before bedtime. The duration of use of Osarbon reaches ten days.

Adverse reactions
According to reviews of Osarbon suppositories, the most common side effect on their use is a local allergic reaction. In this case, adverse reactions are accompanied by itching, vaginal hyperthermia, as well as redness of the epidermis at the injection site of the suppository, as well as on adjacent tissues. If these symptoms are detected, you should abandon the use of suppositories and seek medical advice. The specialist will select a drug similar in action with another active component.
In addition, the use of vaginal suppositories can lead to systemic disorders. The presence of active compounds in the composition of the drug can lead to the development of pathological processes in the liver and even hepatitis. In some cases, against the background of the use of suppositories, polyneuritis was recorded.
If a woman notices the manifestations of systemic abnormalities in her body, stop using Osarbon and consult a doctor in a timely manner to help eliminate unpleasant symptoms and prescribe another therapeutic regimen.

If you follow the instructions and administer suppositories only intravaginally, an overdose of the drug is virtually eliminated. In case of accidental or intentional swallowing of a candle, it is necessary to immediately rinse the stomach using clean water for this purpose.
