Acylact suppositories can be taken during menstruation

Description and composition of the drug

List of indications for use

This probiotic remedy is most often prescribed for various diseases of the female reproductive system. For example, for colpitis, as an independent drug after completion of antibacterial therapy, for vaginal dysbiosis, accompanied by various kinds of inflammatory processes, as well as in preparation for planned gynecological surgical interventions. In the latter case, vaginal suppositories "Acilact" are prescribed to prevent the development of postoperative complications.

Directions for use and dosage

For dysbiosis and senile vaginitis, the drug is used for five to ten days, one suppository twice a day. Acylact suppositories are used according to exactly the same scheme for the development of inflammatory infections in pregnant women. The course of treatment continues until the undesirable symptoms completely disappear and normal microflora is restored. During gynecological operations and in order to prevent complications of a purulent-septic nature, the drug is used for ten days, one suppository once or maximum twice a day. If necessary, the course of therapy is repeated for three to four months, taking mandatory breaks.

List of contraindications for use

It is not recommended to use this probiotic product in case of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the drug, as well as in case of vulvovaginal candidiasis. In addition, you should not use Acylact suppositories during menstruation, since suppositories are intended to restore natural microflora.

Special instructions for use and adverse reactions

The use of this drug can be combined with the use of various antiviral and immunomodulatory agents. However, corrective therapy with Acylact suppositories can be started only after the complete course of bacteriophages has been completed. Possible adverse reactions associated with the use of this drug include a variety of allergic reactions.

Description of the drug

The drug Acylact is a probiotic containing a species of live lactobacilli Lactobacillus acidophilus, which produces lactic acid, which is harmless to the human body.
The lactic acid environment effectively inhibits the activity of pathogenic microorganisms (staphylococci, Proteus, enterogenous harmful E. coli). In the production of this type of medicine, strains of lactobacilli are dried along with the habitat in which they were bred. Obtained by sublimation (sublimation in a special chamber) and soft drying, lacto-microbial raw materials are used for the manufacture of medicines and food additives - probiotics.

The medicinal effect of the drug is due to its composition, which contains lactic bacteria of 3 strains, which, when entering the body, fight the proliferation of various parasitic infectious agents in the urogenital tract, oral cavity and intestines.

In addition, Acylact has similar properties to drugs widely used in the treatment of diseases that disrupt the body's microflora.

These diseases include:

• stomatitis;
• caries;
• gingivitis;
• periodontitis;
• glossitis;
• gastroenteritis;
• vaginitis;
• ulcers;
• colitis;
• various intestinal inflammations.

The medication is used in the oral treatment of dysbiosis, pathogenic disorders of the female reproductive system and gastrointestinal tract. In addition, Acylact is used in prophylactic antibiotic therapy administered before prenatal gynecological procedures.

Indications for use

Suppositories with lactobacilli should be used for the following diseases and during certain periods:

• bacterial type vaginosis;
• colpitis;
• vaginal dysbiosis;
• rehabilitation of the birth canal;
• prevention of purulent complications after jaw surgery;
• prolonged stool disorders in children;
• ulcerative colitis of nonspecific form in a moderate to mild degree;
• glossitis;
• stomatitis;
• gingivitis;
• multiple types of caries;
• preparation for gynecological operations;
• prophylaxis after surgery to prevent complications;
• infections of an inflammatory nature (chlamydia, herpes, gonorrhea);
• Colpitis of hormonal type.

This drug can be used as a component of monotherapy or in complex treatment. Suppositories can also be used with antiviral and immunomodulatory drugs.

Instructions for use

In reviews of “Acilact” suppositories, attention is drawn to the fact that suppositories are used taking into account the specifics of the disease. Suppositories are inserted deep into the vagina in a lying position

After administration, you need to lie down for half an hour. Before the procedure, perform genital hygiene. It is advisable to administer suppositories at night, since during movement the melted components of the suppository may leak out and not have the desired effect. Features of application:

If bacterial vaginosis, vaginitis, or dysbacteriosis is diagnosed, one suppository should be administered twice a day (10 days). If you are concerned about discharge with an unpleasant odor and color, then 2 suppositories per day (from 5 days). To prevent complications after surgery - 2 pieces per day (5-10 days). If suppositories are prescribed for recovery after antibiotic treatment - 2 times within 10 days.

Candles for thrush

Candidiasis (thrush) is a fairly common disease in women. In most cases, it worsens during menstruation. This is due to transformations in the vaginal environment due to ongoing discharge and hormonal changes.

At this stage, a favorable environment is created for the development of the fungus – candida. Many types of candles, when used on “women’s days,” can have a negative effect. A small part of the medicinal substances included in their composition remains in the vagina.

As a result, the destruction of the fungus stops, the infection does not respond to low levels of the drug.

You can insert candles. Among the recommended drugs for thrush, some show varying degrees of benefit during menstruation, but there are also those that have a positive effect during use:

• Clotrimazole - vaginal suppositories, among the side effects is the ability to increase the symptoms of thrush, expressed by the appearance of itching in the mucous membrane. They are not recommended for use during menstruation, despite the fact that the ingredients are resistant to washing off;
• Pimafucin is not recommended for use during menstruation. When the suppository dissolves, the drug is capable of turning into foam, which is easily removed by natural vaginal secretions. The drug has a side effect - irritation of the mucous membrane, the possibility of severe itching;
• Terzhinan is the most gentle drug during menstruation. Its positive feature is the ability to activate in a humid environment. Heavy menstruation is not a problem for him.

Instructions for use Acylact method and dosage

Suppositories: vaginally (introduced into the vagina) or rectally (introduced into the rectum) 1 suppository 2 times a day. The course of treatment is 5 – 20 days.

Pills. The dose is determined by the attending physician.

For diseases of the mucous membrane, the drug is used after meals, dissolving the tablet.

• For glossitis, 5 doses per day are prescribed in 2-3 doses, the course of treatment is 14-15 days. For recurrent aphthous stomatitis and necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, treatment is carried out according to the same scheme in two courses with a break of 7 days.
• For pathological processes in the oral cavity caused by systemic diseases, 10 doses per day are prescribed in 4 doses in two courses of 14-15 days each with a break of 7 days.
• Patients with intestinal disorders are prescribed 5 doses 2-3 times a day.
• For acute inflammatory processes of the intestines, the course of treatment is 7-8 days, for protracted and recurrent forms of the disease - 14-21 days.
• If necessary, the doctor prescribes repeated courses under the control of laboratory parameters.
• For disturbances of the normal intestinal microflora in children with atopic dermatitis, 5 doses per day in courses of 20 - 25 days, with breaks of 1.5 - 2 months.
• Acylact lyophilisate must be dissolved in water before use (1 dose - 1 tsp of water, 3 or 5 doses in a bottle). Depending on the disease, the prepared solution is used for oral administration, rinsing the mouth or douching the vagina.

For each disease there is an individual dosage regimen. The dosage form of the drug, the regimen and duration of treatment are determined by the doctor.

Indications of the active substances of the drug Acylact

Open list of ICD-10 codes

Suppositories

The drug is available in three forms: tablets, lyophilasite for solution, and suppositories. The main substance of suppositories are strains of live lactobacilli (acidophilus), which ideally populate the vaginal flora. But as a result of the pathogenic process, their number can greatly decrease, thereby upsetting the balance. Such a decrease in local immunity can lead to an infectious process. The composition of Acylact allows not only to normalize the microflora, but also to destroy pathogenic organisms, for example, staphylococcus and E. coli.

Auxiliary components are paraffin, tallow and emulsifier. Candles have an elongated shape with a cone-shaped end. The color of the suppository is grayish-yellow or beige. The candles are practically odorless, with only a slight aroma of confectionery fat. The medicine is packaged in blister packs of 5 and 10 pieces. The cardboard package may contain 1 or two packages and instructions for using the product.

Acylact is produced in three forms: tablets, lyophilasite for solution, and suppositories

The action of Acylact is based on antagonistic properties that manifest themselves against many pathogenic microorganisms. In this case, lactobacilli compete with microbes for the nutrient medium. As a result of the fact that lactobacilli multiply much faster than microbes, they soon simply die without nutrition. In the future, when there is a sufficient number of lactobacilli in the body, even if pathogenic microorganisms are ingested, infection does not develop. Therefore, it is advisable to use such drugs in gynecology also for preventive purposes.

When the microflora is restored and metabolism is restored, the immune system is strengthened. In the vagina, suppositories, or rather, active substances, promote the conversion of glycogen into lactic acid. It makes it possible to maintain an optimal (acidic) pH in the range of 3.8-4.2. Such an environment is unfavorable for microbes, but other organisms (Doderlein's bacillus) develop and maintain vaginal biocinosis in good condition. Under such conditions, opportunistic microbes are able to live and do not lead to diseases (they need an environment with a pH no higher than 7).

Treatment of bacterial vaginosis

The first reason to start treatment is regular vaginal discharge. In addition, this phenomenon after some time develops into an inflammatory-infectious process. During treatment, it is necessary, first of all, to restore the correct balance of vaginal microorganisms, and not just to eliminate pathogenic microbes.

Long-term dysbiosis, which is present in bacterial vaginosis, can have a bad effect on the immune system, allowing it to weaken, which in turn can lead to other diseases or cause exacerbation of chronic ones.

Composition and release form

The manufacturer Acylact offers the consumer the medicine in several forms:

• pills;
• vaginal suppositories;
• dry Acylact or lyophilisate for the preparation of a solution for local and oral use.

Regardless of the release form, each product contains live lactobacilli acidophilus. Lactobacilli have a beneficial effect on the body of women, because Strains of these bacteria include vitamins, plastics and minerals that are present in dairy products. Candles contain additional auxiliary components, presented in the form of:

• emulsifier;
• solid fat;
• paraffin

This composition of the suppository allows the dry culture of lactobacilli acidophilus to be evenly distributed in the body. The tablets have no additional components; they are yellow or gray in appearance, and the suppositories are white torpedo-shaped. Candles have a specific smell, which is given to them by the solid confectionery fat in their composition.

Indications for use

Oral diseases (lyophilisate and tablets):

• aphthous stomatitis, glossitis, necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, other inflammations of the oral mucosa;
• pathologies of the oral mucosa accompanying systemic diseases such as erythema multiforme, lichen planus, Sjögren's disease;
• multiple caries, periodontitis, galvanism and other oral diseases associated with dysbacteriosis;
• the period of preparation for planned maxillofacial surgical interventions (to prevent complications of a purulent-inflammatory nature).

Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (lyophilisate and tablets):

• food toxic infections of unknown etiology or caused by opportunistic microbes, acute intestinal infections, rotavirus gastroenteritis;
• prolonged intestinal disorders, especially in early childhood;
• colitis and enterocolitis, prolonged/chronic, of both infectious and non-infectious etiology, with microflora disturbance;
• nonspecific ulcerative colitis in adults in moderate and mild form;
• weakness, frequent illnesses in children and adults with symptoms of dysbacteriosis, including those accompanied by a state of immunodeficiency;
• atopic dermatitis in children with intestinal dysbiosis (as part of complex therapy).

Diseases of the female genital area (suppositories and lyophilisate):

• colpitis (vaginitis), except trichomonas, gonococcal and candidiasis etiology (Acilact is prescribed after completion of antibacterial therapy as an independent drug);
• vaginal dysbiosis due to inflammation of the body, appendages and cervix (after completion of antibacterial therapy);
• the period of preparation for planned gynecological surgical interventions in order to prevent postoperative infections;
• the period of prenatal preparation of pregnant women at risk for the development of purulent-septic postpartum complications, for the purpose of prevention/therapy of vaginal dysbiosis.

Acylact instructions

The medication is a probitic agent that contains antagonistic active live acidophilus Latobacteria.

The drug has an antagonistic effect against opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms, including Shigella, Staphylococcus, Proteus and enteropathological Escherichia coli. With its use, the bacteriocenosis of the intestines and oral cavity is restored, the severity of inflammatory processes that are caused by dysbiosis is reduced, and local immunity is slightly increased. In addition, thanks to the normalization of intestinal microflora, metabolic processes and the immune response improve.

Instructions for using Acylact: method and dosage

Depending on the disease, various dosage forms of Acylact are used topically, orally and intravaginally.

When using a lyophilisate to prepare a suspension, the contents of the bottle must be dissolved in boiled water at room temperature at the rate of 1 teaspoon of water per 1 dose of Acylact. A small amount of measured water is added to the medicine bottle and shaken well. The powder dissolves on average in 5 minutes, resulting in the formation of a beige homogeneous suspension, which must be mixed in the water remaining in the glass. Please note that the prepared solution cannot be stored.

Depending on the severity of dysbacteriosis and the clinical form of the disease, the doctor determines the daily dose and method of use of Acylact.

The drug is used as an aqueous suspension for rinsing after meals for the following diseases of the oral mucosa:

• Glossitis: usually prescribed for two weeks, 5 doses up to 3 times a day;
• Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis and recurrent aphthous stomatitis: take the drug for two weeks, 5 doses up to 3 times a day, conduct two courses of treatment with Acylact with a break of a week;
• Pathological processes in the oral cavity caused by systemic diseases such as Sjogren's disease, lichen planus and exudative erythema multiforme: two courses of 2 weeks, 10 doses per day, divided into 4 doses, with a break between courses of at least 7 days.

For intestinal disorders, oral administration of Acylact half an hour before meals is most effective. Children under six months of age are prescribed 5 doses per day, divided into 2 doses; children over 6 months and adults – 5 doses 2-3 times a day. The drug is taken for acute inflammatory processes for a week, for recurrent and protracted forms of the disease - from two to three weeks.

For atopic dermatitis in children, accompanied by a disturbance of the normal intestinal microflora, several courses of Acylact are prescribed, 5 doses per day for 20-25 days, with intervals of two months.

Acylact vaginal suppositories are used for diseases of the female genital organs, 1 suppository twice a day for 5-10 days. You can also irrigate with an aqueous suspension of the lyophilisate to prepare a suspension or insert a tampon soaked in it.

Analogs

In gynecology, Acylact suppositories (doctors' reviews confirm this) are often used. They are cheap, easy to use, do not cause adverse reactions, and quickly have the desired effect. However, they also have analogues. Among them are the following drugs: “Lactonorm”, “Bifidumbacterin”, “Vagilak”, “Ecofemin Floravag”, “Vaginorm-S”, “Lactozhinal”. The difference is that Acilakt analogues are several times more expensive.

"Lactonorm". This is a drug that includes lactobacilli acidophilus strains belonging to representatives of the natural human microflora. The product normalizes and regulates vaginal pH. The main indication for treatment with Laktonorm is vaginal dysbiosis. In addition, it is prescribed for acute and chronic vulvitis, vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis, for the prevention of infections, and sanitization of the vagina. The drug can be used during pregnancy. Available in the form of vaginal capsules. "Bifidumbacterin". This is a probiotic that regulates the balance of intestinal microflora. It is prescribed as monotherapy and in combination. Recommended for intestinal dysbiosis, chronic constipation, acute respiratory viral infections, and for the prevention of infections. "Vagilak". A drug that helps increase the number of lactobacilli normalizes the vaginal microflora in women. Sold in the form of capsules, soap and gel. Eliminates vaginal dysbiosis, maintains healthy mucous membranes. Vagilak is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. "Vaginorm-S". Vaginal tablets that restore the normal balance of vaginal microflora support it. Suppresses the growth of anaerobic bacteria. Acceptable for use during pregnancy. The advantage of the drug is that adverse reactions occur very rarely. "Lactozhinal". Vaginal capsules that restore normal vaginal microflora after antibiotic therapy. Prescribed for the sanitation of the birth canal before childbirth, for the prevention of vulvovaginal candidiasis. May cause allergic reactions in the form of itching, burning, and irritation of mucous membranes. "Ecofemin Floravag". This is a probiotic complex consisting of three types of lactobacilli. The advantage of the drug is that its composition is as close as possible to the natural microflora of the vagina. The drug eliminates dry mucous membranes, dysbacteriosis, burning sensation, unpleasant odor, regulates the amount of discharge, maintains vaginal health, and strengthens local immunity. Effective for vaginitis, vulvitis, vaginal bacteriosis, genital tract infections.

Unlike the listed imported products, Acylact also copes with its tasks, but for less money. The cost of these analogues is above 500 rubles. They should be prescribed by a specialist after laboratory diagnosis.

Other drugs for menstruation

• Hexicon is a local drug that actively helps in the treatment of cervicitis and vaginitis. Suppositories are not recommended for use during menstruation due to a decrease in results from rapid dissolution under the influence of a changed mucosal environment.
• Genferon is an antiviral and antibacterial drug. Not recommended for use in case of heavy bleeding. The constituent substances lose activity, allowing bacteria to adapt to the environment. With scanty menstruation, use is possible, and the drug acts most effectively rectally.
• Depantol has an antiseptic effect and stimulates regenerative processes. Use during menstruation does not make sense, due to rapid leaching and the inability to renew tissue during menstruation.
• The action of Betadine is aimed at disinfecting the environment and combating pathogenic bacteria. During scanty menstruation, the drug has an active effect - the iodine in the composition is quickly absorbed, and glycerin is poorly washed out. With heavy discharge, the effect of the drug slows down slightly. The drug does not cause discomfort in women.
• Acylact is a product that can restore the natural microflora of the vagina. The drug supplies the intimate areas with bacteria, which ensure normal, comfortable functioning of the mucous membrane, fights pathogenic infections, protecting the organ from its proliferation. During menstruation, suppositories are not used due to rapid elimination.

Therapeutic indications

Acylact tablets and lyophilisate are prescribed for intestinal dysbiosis leading to digestive problems. Suppositories are usually used in the treatment of gynecological diseases that cause disturbances in the vaginal microflora such as gonorrhea, vaginitis, herpes, chlamydial infections.

Regardless of the dosage form of Acylact, the dosage of the drug is determined by the number of lactobacilli. Fermented lactic acid bacilli are a compact, microbial cluster. They are measured in colony-forming units (CFU).

When CFU are transferred to a medium saturated with nutrients, they actively multiply. One standard dose of the drug in question contains at least 10 mil. acidophilus bacteria.

Consequently, the number of standard doses in tablets and lyophilisate varies. Therefore, bottles of lyophilized powder are labeled with the exact quantity of standard dosage quantities.

The drug Acylact in the form of tablets and lyophilisate is indicated in the presence of the following diseases:

• infectious pathologies of the oral cavity - aphthous stomatitis, glossitis, exudative erythema, Wilson's lichen, Sjögren's syndrome, caries. In addition, the medication is prescribed for preventive purposes at the preparatory stage of planned maxillofacial surgery, to prevent purulent-inflammatory complications;
• diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract - food toxic-infectious pathologies, rotavirus gastroenteritis, colitis, dysbacteriosis, atopic dermatitis.

Indications for the use of Acylact in the form of intravaginal suppositories:

• inflammation of the vaginal mucosa of various etiologies (except for candidiasis, gonococcal and trichomonas);
• vaginal dysbiosis caused by inflammation of the cervix and appendages after completing an antibacterial treatment course.

Also, suppositories are used in preparation for planned gynecological surgery for anti-infective preventive purposes.

The drug acylact is prescribed to women in the field of gynecology to restore normal vaginal microflora, treat dysbiosis and hormonal disorders.

Symptoms of bacterial vaginosis

The main symptom of bacterial vaginosis is profuse grayish vaginal discharge. There can be up to 30 ml per day.

The discharge has a fairly liquid consistency and has a characteristic fishy odor, which becomes more intense after sexual intercourse without a contraceptive, because the alkaline pH of semen increases the production of volatile amines.

Sometimes during sexual intercourse you may notice a burning sensation or discomfort, as well as irritation of the vulva. In some cases, bacterial vaginosis occurs without discomfort.

Instructions for use

The instructions for use indicate that Acylact contains at least 10 million live acidophilic lactobacilli in 1 dose. A tablet or suppository contains 1 dose of the drug.

Suppositories are used intravaginally - in the form of irrigations, applications and suppositories:

1. In order to prevent purulent-septic complications, use 1 suppository 1-2 times a day for 5-10 days (before the proposed operation or delivery).
2. For inflammatory processes of the urogenital tract - 5 doses (in the form of a solution) or 1 dose (1 suppository) 2 times a day for 5-10 days.
3. Rehabilitation therapy after the use of antibiotics - rectally, 1 suppository 1-2 times a day for 10 days. The course is repeated for 3-4 months with an interval of 10-20 days.
4. In case of violation of the purity of vaginal secretions in pregnant women up to III-IV stage. – 1 suppository 1-2 times a day for 5-10 days or more, until clinical symptoms disappear and the purity of vaginal secretion is restored to grade I-II.

Acylact in the form of tablets is taken orally, 30-40 minutes before meals, 2-3 times a day. For acute inflammatory processes, infants - 2-3 doses, older children and adults - 5 doses for 7-8 days; for prolonged and recurrent forms of the disease, infants - 2-3 doses, older children and adults - 5 doses for 14-25 days.

How to enter

It is necessary to insert candles during menstruation very carefully, observing the rules of personal hygiene. It is necessary that an infection does not get into the vagina along with the drug. This may occur due to open access to his environment during menstruation. Before insertion, you must thoroughly wash your hands and perineum. The drug is administered while lying on your back, after which the woman lies for 20 minutes.

According to the instructions for use, different drugs have different effects on the body. It is better to discuss whether to use suppositories during menstruation or not with your doctor, who will tell you whether there can be a break in taking the drug or whether suppositories should be administered rectally, as well as the advisability of vaginal administration of a particular drug during menstruation.

Mechanism of action

https://youtube.com/watch?v=PlKOYvb1S34

The product itself does not have sufficient antibacterial activity, so it is usually used in combination with antibiotics or antiseptics. This allows for a double impact effect, increasing the effectiveness of treatment. Antimicrobial drugs destroy pathogenic microorganisms, and probiotics immediately populate the mucous membrane with beneficial lactobacilli.

Therefore, the disorder or disease no longer has a chance to return - the place is already occupied by natural microflora. And this beneficial effect is realized in Acylact candles as follows:

• Each unit of the drug (one candle) contains at least 10 million live acidophilic lactic acid rods.
• Their main feature is the ability to live in symbiosis with the human body, receiving nutrients in return.
• Unlike harmful and opportunistic bacteria, lactobacilli are capable of damaging or destroying mucous membranes.
• For nutrition, they use glycogen, which is continuously released into the surface mucus from multilayered epithelial cells.
• During the breakdown of this substance, a large amount of lactic acid is formed - a natural metabolic product. As a result, the acidity in the vagina increases significantly - the pH is normally maintained at a level of 3.8 to 4.2.
• Thus, lactobacilli create an optimal living environment for themselves, in which other microorganisms cannot live or actively reproduce.

Acylact suppositories are used to implement the effect of biological displacement, which allows you to remove opportunistic and harmful microflora. Moreover, it is achieved not through direct struggle, but by creating unbearable living conditions for the “enemy.”

Release forms and composition

Acylact is available in 3 dosage forms:

• tablet - round tablets with a slightly convex surface of a yellowish-gray or beige color. Available in plastic containers containing 20, 30 or 60 tablets;
• lyophilized - powdery mass in bottles for preparing a suspension solution;
• suppository - intravaginal suppositories of cylindrical or cone shape. Light yellow suppositories have a specific odor and are produced in blister packs of 5 or 10 pcs. in each.

In addition to bacteria, the drug contains minerals, vitamins and auxiliary components. The drug is often prescribed after a course of taking antimicrobial agents. A single dose of Acylact contains more than a million beneficial bacteria that are able to regulate the functioning of internal organs.

Compound

The composition of 1 tablet, designed for 5 doses, includes the main active substance, including a complex of acidophilic bacteria (for life support purposes, live strains of bacteria are lyophilized together with the cultivation medium, then pressed into tablets).

In addition to the main active ingredient, the tablets contain additional components:

• stearic calcium;
• milk sugar;
• talc.

One bottle of the drug (for 5 doses) of the lyophilisate dosage form contains strains of live acidophilic lactobacilli Lactobacillus acidophilus, dried in a cultivation medium in an amount of at least 50 ml. CFU. The composition of 1 intravaginal suppository includes active lacto-microbial substances Lactobacillus acidophilus NK1, K3Sh24 and 100ash - CFU.

The candle also contains the following excipients:

• edible fat;
• purified paraffin;
• emulsifier.

Advantages and disadvantages

During critical days, it is possible to use the products rectally, by inserting them into the rectum. This method is used without the intervention of doctors and in this case nothing prevents the body from receiving healing elements.

Everything happens differently when suppositories are placed in the vagina before the onset of menstruation. The advantage of their continuous use is:

• continuation of treatment during critical days. The process has a beneficial effect on the constant supply of medicinal substances that are necessary to eliminate bacterial infections. Irregular intake, non-compliance with dosage regimens, long breaks contribute to the restoration of vital activity and adaptation of bacteria. Subsequently, there will be a need to take stronger drugs. The break affects the quality of therapy;
• the need for urgent use or the need for interaction with other drugs - injections or tablets. Taking some vaginal suppositories, according to the instructions, begins with the first days of menstruation.

Disadvantages of use:

• During menstruation, the internal cavity of the uterus is renewed. The use of vaginal suppositories at this stage is not advisable, since blood discharge removes the drug. This reduces the effect of exposure, in some cases, by 50%;
• due to the pause, a chronic form of infectious disease may develop;
• During menstruation, the acidity level in the vagina changes. At this stage, a reaction occurs - the medicinal elements included in the candle interact with menstrual flow. The result is itching, discomfort and unpleasant sensations. Local effects on the microflora do not bring results due to changes in the formula of the vaginal contents;
• the course of menstruation and their abundance changes.

Particularity

Can pregnant women use Acylact suppositories? Due to the fact that the drug contains lactobacilli, which are not capable of harming the body, doctors prescribe this drug at different stages of gestation. If the application can be compared with a large amount of consumed fermented milk product. Therefore, for women who often suffer from dysbiosis, such suppositories are very useful. If a pregnant woman’s smear is not completely clean, this may mean that dysbiosis is developing. This means that the growth of opportunistic microorganisms begins, which can lead to inflammation of the cervix and vagina. This can lead to infection of the newborn or poor healing of the sutures of the mother. Therefore, many gynecologists prescribe Acylact Suppositories during pregnancy as a sanitation before delivery. In addition, this procedure promotes better tissue extensibility, which helps prevent ruptures. It is enough to put one candle a week and a half before giving birth.

The substances that make up Acylact are harmless to the body, which is why doctors prescribe this drug at different stages of pregnancy

How to use Acylact during menstruation? As the instructions say, candles cannot be used during this period. The fact is that the walls of the vagina during menstruation are covered with blood and mucus, which does not allow the lactobacilli to attach and begin its active reproduction. At the same time, the uterus itself is open and the risk of spreading the infection deeper increases. If a woman begins to menstruate during treatment, it is recommended to temporarily replace the suppositories with pills. Suppositories will need to be delivered after they are finished.

Analogs

There are drugs that are similar in their therapeutic effect to Acylact. These include:

• Lactobacterin;
• Bifidumbacterin (capsules);
• Biobakton;
• Hexicon;
• Betadine;
• Bifinorm (tablets);
• Chlorhexidine;
• Povidone-iodine.

How much do rectal suppositories cost? The price of Acylact in the pharmacy is quite different. You can buy the drug at a pharmacy at a cost of 115-160 rubles. The shelf life is 1 year. Storage conditions: dark place, temperature from 2 to 10*C.

Reviews

There is no need to scare us with ACYLACT, what are the side effects? All your effects are from your untreated sores, and Acylact suppositories are just beneficial bacteria that are missing after treatment with antibiotics, they normalize the microflora, but do not cure thrush and many other diseases. I have been using them for many years when needed and am very pleased. Only they must be fresh and properly stored!

I started using Acylact, but the candles had a kind of loose consistency! And the capsules are disgusting to open - it’s almost impossible to open normally, you just need to cut along the contour with scissors and remove them, and the candle crumbles! The expiration date has not expired, purchased at a good pharmacy. Tough!

A gynecologist prescribed Acilact suppositories to me after acute dysbiosis (disturbance of the microflora) of the vagina. Dysbiosis was associated with an infection whose eternal companion is thrush. That is, first the doctor prescribed me suppositories for thrush, and then, after the course, Acylact.

As a result, after these suppositories, my original disease worsened, since lactobacilli acidify the vaginal environment. And some infections begin to develop actively in such an environment. Therefore, Acylact did not help me, but harmed me.

Also, in no case should you use acylact for untreated thrush or simply treat thrush with acylact.

This is exactly what they prescribed for me after thrush. I installed it to restore the microflora, they wrote to you correctly. You just have to be sure that they killed everyone with pimafucins and other things. In short, take a smear test. And if the smear is ok, then use Acylact. I was hesitant to go for a smear test, to be honest, after a course of pimafucin I took it. Everything is fine!

Good drug. I can say for sure that after completing a course of 1-2 months, the condition of the intestines generally improves. I take one tablet daily, as indicated in the instructions, for prevention purposes, since I often encounter symptoms of dysbiosis. After completing the course of treatment for six months, the intestines do not bother me.

Medicinal properties

The medication is a probiotic. The product is filled with acidophilic lactobacilli, which create conditions for the development of normal vaginal microflora and are antagonists of harmful pathogenic microorganisms and genitourinary infections. The drug exhibits particular activity against staphylococci, Proteus and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli.

It has been proven that during the period of therapy, women experienced significant improvements, the acidic environment was restored to normal levels. As is known, opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms cannot develop in an acidic environment, therefore local immunity increases, and harmful agents either become inactive or even die.

There is no data on the pharmacokinetics of the drug.

Treatment of bacterial vaginosis

The first reason to start treatment is regular vaginal discharge. In addition, this phenomenon after some time develops into an inflammatory-infectious process. During treatment, it is necessary, first of all, to restore the correct balance of vaginal microorganisms, and not just to eliminate pathogenic microbes.

Long-term dysbiosis, which is present in bacterial vaginosis, can have a bad effect on the immune system, allowing it to weaken, which in turn can lead to other diseases or cause exacerbation of chronic ones.

Release forms

The average cost in Russia is 157 rubles per package.
