Vagisan

Lactic Acid

In a healthy vagina, an acidic environment provides natural protection against infection. Acidification of the vaginal environment with lactic acid supports the growth of the typical "good" lactobacilli (lactic acid bacteria), which essentially make up the vaginal flora. At the same time, the acidification slows down the multiplication of "pathogenic" germs. Lactic acid can therefore be used as a preventative measure in cases of a tendency to recurrent vaginal infections. Vagisan lactic acid pessaries contain a mixture of lactic acid and sodium lactate. They are used to maintain and restore a natural acidity level (pH) in the vagina. This is normally between 3.8 and 4.4. With Vagisan Lactic Acid, the vaginal environment is quickly and effectively acidified and brought into line with the normal pH value of the vagina. In this way, alkaline body fluids such as blood or semen (whose pH value is above 7 in each case) are also quickly "absorbed".

Directions of Use

Insert a vaginal pessary as deeply as possible into the vagina at night before going to bed. The vaginal pessary can be inserted more easily if it is moistened under running water beforehand. The use of a panty liner/pad is recommended, as the particularly good solubility of the vaginal pessaries can cause increased discharge. The duration of use is generally 5-7 days. Vagisan lactic acid can also be used over a longer period of time 2-3 times a week (one vaginal pessary each evening).
