Fermalac Vaginal

Overview

Fermalac Vaginal is a probiotic preparation designed to restore and maintain the natural vaginal flora. The healthy vaginal environment is dominated by Lactobacillus species, which help keep the pH acidic and prevent overgrowth of harmful organisms. Disturbances in this balance—due to antibiotics, infections, or hormonal changes—can lead to vaginal discomfort, itching, abnormal discharge, or recurrent infections. Fermalac Vaginal works by replenishing the beneficial bacteria and promoting a healthy vaginal ecosystem.

Uses

Fermalac Vaginal may be prescribed for:

• Restoration of healthy vaginal flora after antibiotic or antifungal treatment.

• Prevention of recurrent bacterial vaginosis.

• Supportive treatment in vaginal candidiasis.

• Relief from symptoms such as itching, burning, and abnormal discharge.

• Maintenance of acidic vaginal pH to prevent infections.

How to Use

• Use as directed by your gynecologist.

• Usually administered as a vaginal capsule or tablet, inserted at bedtime for better retention.

• Wash hands thoroughly before and after insertion.

• Complete the full course, even if symptoms improve early.

• Not for oral use.

Doctor’s Review

“Fermalac Vaginal is a useful probiotic preparation that helps restore the natural balance of the vaginal microbiota. It is particularly effective in preventing recurrences of bacterial vaginosis and as supportive therapy after antifungal treatment. Most patients tolerate it well, and it provides a non-hormonal, safe option to maintain vaginal health.
