Pharmacodynamics
The oral preparation helps to stabilize the normal composition of the vaginal microflora. Vagisan consists of live lactobacilli, most of which inhabit the vagina under normal conditions. Vagisan maintains the natural acidic reaction of the environment, which does not favor the growth and development of pathogenic bacteria.
The normal composition of microflora is lactobacilli and other non-pathogenic microorganisms, opportunistic fungi and bacteria. In stressful situations, during antibiotic treatment, decreased immunity or under the influence of other pathological factors, the balance of microflora is disturbed, the number of opportunistic bacterial strains increases, which causes the emergence of diseases and leads to the danger of unhindered introduction of foreign infection.
The oral remedy Vagisan should help to form a balance of microflora and its further support. Due to this, the risk of occurrence of a number of various urological and gynecological infectious pathologies is reduced.
