Vagisan Lactic Acid

Women who are prone to recurrent vaginal infections can restore or maintain a healthy and thus resilient vaginal environment with lactic acid bacteria or lactic acid, thereby contributing to the prevention of vaginal infections themselves. 

Preparations with lactic acid are sensible when there are still enough lactic acid bacteria present in the vagina, and the existing vaginal flora should be supported by acidification. The use of lactic acid bacteria is sensible when the vaginal flora is sustainably disturbed and needs to be rebuilt.

Rapid Acidification of the Vagina with Lactic Acid 

In a healthy vagina, an acidic environment provides natural protection against infection. Acidifying the vaginal environment with lactic acid supports the growth of the vagina-specific "good" lactobacilli (lactic acid bacteria), which essentially make up the vaginal flora. At the same time, the multiplication of "pathogenic" agents is slowed down by the acidification. Lactic acid can therefore be used preventively in cases of a tendency to recurrent vaginal infections.

Vagisan Lactic Acid are vaginal suppositories that contain a mixture of lactic acid and sodium lactate. They are used to maintain and restore a natural acidity level (pH value) in the vagina, which is normally between 3.8 and 4.4.

With Vagisan Lactic Acid, a rapid and effective acidification of the vaginal environment occurs, aligning it with the normal pH value of the vagina. This also quickly "captures" alkaline body fluids such as blood or semen (whose pH values are each above 7).
