Vagi-C® vaginal tablets - For bacterial infections of the vagina

In Germany, millions of women are affected by a bacterial infection of the vagina every year, some even several times a year.A healthy vaginal flora is a natural protection against infections.The resident lactic acid bacteria, also called lactobacilli, create an acidic environment that inhibits the growth of pathogenic germs.If the vaginal flora becomes unbalanced, harmful bacteria can multiply.In this case, doctors speak of bacterial vaginosis, which is sometimes accompanied by unpleasant-smelling discharge and often itching and burning.Treatment with Vagi-C® vaginal tablets has proven to be effective in strengthening the vaginal flora and restoring the acidic environment.The medicine for intravaginal use is also suitable for the treatment of recurring vaginal infections and can be used for chronic infections.

Excessive vaginal hygiene, for example through douching, can have a detrimental effect on the vaginal environment, as good lactic acid bacteria are also washed out.Hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause throw the vaginal environment out of balance.This often also applies during and immediately after menstruation.When taking antibiotics, not only harmful bacteria but also good lactobacilli are killed, which can throw the vaginal flora out of balance.
