Indications for use of suppositories from chlamydia

Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease, one of the variants of the spread of which is open sexual contact with an infected partner. Chlamydia are intracellular parasites capable of reproduction. They represent something between the virus and the bacterium, so the disease is difficult to diagnose and treat. Unfortunately, in most cases, chlamydia is found already in the chronic stage of the disease. This is due to a little clinical picture of chlamydia. However, modern medicine does not stand still, and with every year there are more and more new medications that can effectively affect the pathology and cure it forever.

The therapeutic regimen should consist of several different drugs, as the causative agent quickly enough becomes resistant to any one medicine. For this reason, drugs from chlamydia, including candles, should be selected from different pharmacological groups, with different spectrum and degree of influence.

It is better not to self-medicate: after a few days of treatment, chlamydia will develop resistance to the drug and stop responding to the chosen medicine.

Pharmacodynamics

Pharmacodynamics of suppositories from chlamydia directly depends on the composition and pharmacological activity of a particular preparation.

Interferons have an immunomodulatory effect, stimulating mainly the cellular stage of immune defense (phagocytosis, activity of T-killers and T-helpers). Activation of leukocytes entails the removal of the inflammatory reaction, the normalization of the synthesis of IgA. In addition, processes of vital activity in the cellular structures of pathogenic microorganisms are disrupted.

Candles-antiseptics interact with microbial cells, violate their vitality, inhibit reproduction and development, which leads to the death of the pathogenic microorganism.

The use of candles-antiseptics helps not only in the fight against parasitic bacteria. Such suppositories can be used to prevent sexual infections (in particular, chlamydia).

Pharmacokinetics

Vaginal suppositories and suppositories are absorbed through the mucous membranes during local use. Absorption of active components in the systemic blood stream with intravaginal application is insignificant. Excretion from the body occurs mainly through the liver and gall bladder, to a lesser extent - through the urinary system.

Rectal suppositories allow the active ingredients to be absorbed through the rectal mucosa, which allows direct entry of the drug into the bloodstream, without interfering with the digestive system. The concentration of the drug in the blood rises within the first hour after the application of the suppository. The level of active substances can gradually decrease, for about 12 hours, after which the repeated administration of the drug is required.

Names of suppositories in chlamydia

Medicines in the form of suppositories, or suppositories, are actively used in the scheme of treatment of chlamydia in both female and male patients. Suppositories for chlamydia are divided into 2 types:

2. Polyoxidonium (azoxime bromide) is an immunomodulator that increases the body's resistance to infection, and also affects phagocytes and killer cells and stimulates the formation of antibodies. Polyoxidonium potentiates the action of antibiotics and reduces the duration of treatment, can be used both rectally and vaginally;
3. Betadine (Povidone-Iodine) - antiseptic and disinfectant, has a pronounced antimicrobial activity. Destroys staphylococcus, E. Coli, fungi, viruses and protozoa, as well as gram (+) and gram (-) bacteria. With chlamydia, the drug acts quickly and effectively;
4. Genferon is an antiviral interferon. Improves local and systemic defense of the body, has antiviral and antimicrobial effect. Violates the processes of vital activity in pathogens: viruses, chlamydia, ureaplasma, mycoplasma, trichomonads, fungi. Genferon can be used rectally or vaginally;
5. Viferon - interferon with antiviral activity. Acts as an antiviral drug, immunomodulator, as well as an agent that suppresses the excessive proliferation of various cells. Viferon suppository for chlamydia is successfully used for the reason that this drug can disrupt the structure of the cell not only the virus, but also some other microorganisms, for example, chlamydia. The use of Viferon suppositories does not lead to the formation of antibodies that neutralize interferon, even with prolonged use of the drug.
