The female body is especially often exposed to various diseases. Among the various pathologies, dysbiosis of the female vagina can be noted. The reasons for this can be very ordinary and, at first glance, inconspicuous: wearing synthetic underwear, frequent use of antibiotics, a weakened immune system, stressful situations, and so on. As a result, it is difficult to find a representative of the fair sex who has not at least heard firsthand about the symptoms of thrush. But you shouldn’t despair, because there is an excellent solution to this problem - Laktozhinal suppositories. They are very effective and have many positive reviews.
It must be said that there is little pleasant in thrush, because itching is felt, the external genital organs become inflamed, and curd-like mucus is secreted. This happens due to the proliferation of a fungus, which is present in any female body, but in the case of thrush, it simply loses control. Today, doctors are ready to offer the only completely safe and at the same time effective way to prevent thrush. Such drugs can restore normal vaginal microflora. These products primarily include Laktozhinal suppositories.
Medicinal properties
The content of the article:
If there is a violation of the vaginal microflora, then it is necessary to use Laktozhinal suppositories in order to restore it. The drug quickly dissolves in the environment of pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic bacteria and promotes the reproduction of their “good” brothers.
Speaking about Laktozhinal for the treatment of microflora, we must not forget that there may be contraindications that need to be taken into account before starting to use the drug Laktozhinal:
- If the girl is under 18 years of age.
- If the vagina is hypersensitive.
- If there are no instructions from a gynecologist.
general characteristics
Vaginal suppositories Laktozhinal have the shape of a capsule containing a yellow-brown substance inside. They are used intravaginally. When administered, the shell of the suppository dissolves and the active substances of the medicine penetrate the body. Their main task is to create an unacceptable environment for the life and development of pathogens. As a result, the microflora of the female genital organs returns to normal, and the unpleasant symptoms that cause discomfort disappear. This is all thanks to live lactobacilli, which help develop the natural environment in the vagina and protect its mucous walls from irritation.
The drug Laktozhinal, thanks to its components, interacts well with other drugs.
Composition of the drug
Regarding the composition of candles, here it is simple. There are 341 mg of lactobacilli per capsule. It depends on them how effective the drug will be in restoring and normalizing the microflora. Speaking of excipients, you can find there: lactose, potato starch, magnesium stearate, etc. The product also contains gelatin, and its weight is about 98 mg. The release form and composition are quite simple and understandable even to a non-specialist.

It may often be necessary to combine this drug with certain other medications. It should also be noted here that the composition of the candles is such that there are no substances that could not be combined with other components. These results are confirmed by various scientific experiments. They were carried out at the time when the medicine was being created.
The capsule looks like a zero, although it is oblong. Thanks to this, a woman does not feel pain when she uses Laktozhinal suppositories for treatment. The inside of the capsule is a brownish powder; there is no specific odor. There are 14 capsules per pack, which are used to normalize the vaginal microflora.
Analogues of Laktozhinal capsules
With the development of medicine in the modern world, there is a huge number of pharmaceuticals that are effectively involved in restoring the microflora of the female body. Therefore, the drug Laktozhinal has numerous analogues.
Drugs that have earned the trust of many women:
- Acylact (made in Russia) is a probiotic, available in the form of suppositories and capsules, used for disturbances of the vaginal microflora, treatment of dysbiosis and colpitis, and some infectious diseases.
- Vagilak - has similar characteristics to Laktozhinal capsules. Its lactobacilli restore the vaginal microflora and protect the mucous membrane from harmful bacteria.
- Terzhinal is a complex antibacterial and antifungal drug for the treatment of gynecological diseases.
Possible side effects
It must be remembered that, like any medicine, Laktozhinal suppositories have negative effects and side effects. In most cases, this drug should not cause any adverse reactions. But here you need to take into account the individual intolerance of the female body. Therefore, it is possible that allergic reactions to the components of the product themselves may occur.
The most common side effects include: a burning sensation, redness on the genitals, itching, and increased vaginal discharge. But most often, such negative aspects can only appear in the case of violation of the rules, as well as the requirements for use, and everything that is written in the instructions.

If side effects are noticed, then use of this substance should be stopped and consult a doctor for advice.
Use on critical days
The standard duration of treatment with Laktozhinal is 10-14 days. Very often, the beginning of the menstrual cycle also falls during the therapy period. In this case, you should be aware of all the dangerous situations associated with the introduction of vaginal tablets during menstruation:
- the drug has a local effect because it dissolves immediately in the vagina, therefore, when using suppositories during menstruation, part of the active substance may be washed away without having time to have a beneficial effect;
- if you put candles without following the rules of personal hygiene, you can introduce an infection into the dilated cervix;
- Side effects from drug interactions, such as itching, burning and allergic reactions, may occur.
Not every drug can be used during menstrual periods; during this period, any drug therapy must be agreed upon with the treating gynecologist. Lactozhinal can be used even when menstruation has begun, so treatment will take place without interruption, which significantly increases its effectiveness.
Contraindications for use
Despite the fact that suppositories are a fairly safe medicine, there are still some contraindications that need to be taken into account before you start using the medicine. They are as follows:
- When the patient has not reached the age of eighteen.
- If the vagina is highly hypersensitive.
- When there is a suspicion of thrush. In this case, you need to get certain recommendations from a gynecologist.
This drug is not recommended to be combined with alcohol. This can lead to ulcers or increased stress on the liver.
Laktozhinal suppositories for thrush
The vaginal microflora is exposed to a wide variety of stresses, as a result of which it can be disrupted. To restore it, special preparations containing beneficial lactobacilli are used. One of these drugs is Laktozhinal suppositories. Instructions for using the drug in gynecology are further in our article.
Thrush is an unpleasant disease that can occur for a number of reasons. Stressful situations, taking antibacterial drugs, poor nutrition - all this leads to problems not only in the digestive tract, but also in the vagina, and subsequently can threaten to disrupt the natural balance of microflora. Laktozhinal for thrush restores the microflora, populating it with beneficial bacteria - opponents of fungal infection.

In general, according to experts, fungi are natural inhabitants of our body and under normal conditions they do not cause any problems. But if for some reason a malfunction occurs, the immune system weakens, then the opportunistic microflora begins to actively multiply, form entire colonies and lead to the development of a disease called thrush (candidiasis).
Despite its high prevalence, candidiasis is considered a rather insidious disease, since it will require a whole range of measures to completely get rid of it. An acute process can easily develop into a chronic form, which will be much more difficult to eliminate.
That is why it is important to start treatment in a timely manner and seek the help of specialists. Taking any medication should be carried out under the supervision of a doctor after undergoing a diagnostic examination and making an accurate diagnosis.

Lactozhinal suppositories have passed all the necessary clinical tests; they contain lactobacilli, thanks to which the restoration and normalization of natural microflora is achieved. The drug is used for intravaginal use. Reviews about Lactozhinal are positive and this is due to the product’s high safety and effectiveness.
It is worth noting that the active component of the drug is a lyophilized type of lactobacilli, which are famous for their ability to create a natural environment that will protect the vaginal mucosa. According to patients, even with protracted forms of candidiasis, lactozhinal copes with the disease in one week.
Opinion of gynecologists
If you consult with specialists, they will definitely be able to tell you that Laktozhinal suppositories are a good medicine that has the most effective and safe effect.
However, gynecologists recommend treating this remedy with caution and attention, especially taking into account some of the points that are described below.
- Laktozhinal and pregnancy
The main feature is that this remedy can be used even when a woman is pregnant. In the same way, you can use this drug while a representative of the fair sex is feeding a child. Indeed, during this period the female body becomes weaker, it is exposed to the influence of various harmful organisms.
The components in the product are in no way capable of affecting the development of the fetus and do not pass into mother’s milk. But still, you should not decide on your own to use Lactozhinal during pregnancy. Consult your gynecologist before doing this.
- Laktozhinal suppositories and sex
If a woman is undergoing treatment and does not plan to have a child at this time, she needs to be especially careful in terms of using spermicidal contraception. The fact is that the active substances contained in suppositories can reduce the effect of spermicides, so their effect becomes insignificant. If health problems do arise, then it is better to abstain from sex until a full recovery occurs.

If you really want sexual intercourse, then using a condom as a contraceptive in this case is better.
- What should be the dosage
The main thing to understand here is that the dose, as well as the method of using this drug, can only be prescribed by a doctor. This happens after a thorough examination and testing has been carried out. During the treatment process, when the vaginal microflora is restored, one suppository is usually prescribed in the morning and evening for a week. Or it can be one capsule a day for two weeks.
Analogues and substitutes
Sometimes medications prescribed by a doctor have to be replaced. Of course, you should not do this yourself - such an important issue should be considered exclusively by a gynecologist. Most often, the agent in question is recommended to be replaced by:
- Lactonorm;
- Vagiflor;
- Depantol;
- Acylactome;
- Lactobacterin, etc.
It is also worth remembering that during menstruation, vaginal suppositories, tablets and capsules are not always effective. The fact is that 30% of the drug is washed out of the vagina along with blood, so it may not be completely absorbed. For this reason, many doctors recommend restoring or maintaining microflora with oral probiotics, and using intravaginal lactobacilli only when there is a great need for continuous treatment.

August 18, 2020 at 02:04 pmI wonder why some “suppositories” and “suppositories” are mentioned here - Laktozhinal is produced only in the form of capsules. It can be used during menstruation, but it is ineffective because the contents leak out. Therefore, only as a last resort - if there is a high risk of developing thrush or bacterial vaginosis in the shortest possible time. But then most likely you will have to extend the reception.

Dosage
The method of administration and dosage of use of the medication are prescribed only by a doctor after careful examination and testing. In the process of restoring the microflora of the female body after taking antibacterial drugs, one suppository is prescribed in the morning and evening for seven days, or one capsule every day for fourteen days.
An identical dosage is prescribed before gynecological surgery or in preparation for childbirth. But in this situation, the medicine becomes an adjuvant in complex treatment.
The duration of use of the medication is determined only by the attending physician. And it should be remembered that the course of treatment should not exceed three weeks. The need for repeated courses is also determined individually by the doctor.
