What is Probiovag and how are the vaginal suppositories used?
Probiovag is a medical device from the Serbian brand MaxMedica in the form of vaginal suppositories (vagitories). According to the manufacturer, it is based on non-viable, tyndallised (heat-treated) Lactobacillus strains and is intended to support the natural protection of the vaginal microflora when it is weakened.
The manufacturer lists situations in which the balance of the vaginal flora can be disturbed: antibiotic therapy, frequent use of tampons, contraception, pregnancy and childbirth. Probiovag is also intended to help restore the vaginal environment and to prevent dryness and irritation such as itching, redness and burning.
One pack contains 10 vaginal suppositories, enough for one complete 10-day application. The product is sold in pharmacies.
Key benefits:
- Medical device for supporting the natural protection of the vaginal microflora, according to the manufacturer.
- Contains three tyndallised lactobacillus strains: L. acidophilus, L. reuteri and L. casei.
- Simple regimen: one vaginal suppository a day, in the evening before bedtime.
- One pack covers a complete 10-day application.
- Can be considered after antibiotic therapy or in other situations that disturb the vaginal flora, as listed by the manufacturer.
Composition and features
Composition as declared by the manufacturer (amounts per suppository are not stated in the available sources):
| Ingredient | Note |
|---|---|
| Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus casei | non-viable, tyndallised (heat-treated) lactobacillus strains |
| Hydrogenated coco-glycerides | suppository base |
| Polysorbate 80 | emulsifier |
| Micronised silicon dioxide | excipient |
Because the lactobacilli are tyndallised, they are not live bacteria; the manufacturer bases the product on these inactivated strains.
How to use
According to the manufacturer:
- Insert one vaginal suppository deep into the vagina once a day, preferably in the evening before going to sleep.
- Use for 10 days, starting on the last day of the menstrual cycle, or as advised by your doctor.
- Read the instructions for use in the pack before use.
Who is it for?
Probiovag is intended for women whose vaginal microflora is disturbed or at risk – for example during or after antibiotic therapy, with frequent tampon use, with contraception, or in connection with pregnancy and childbirth, as listed by the manufacturer. The manufacturer's information does not contain specific guidance on use during pregnancy – in that case, use it only after consulting your gynaecologist.
Important notes
- Probiovag is a medical device; read the instructions for use and ask your doctor or pharmacist about indications, precautions and possible side effects.
- Unusual discharge, a strong odour, pain, fever or bleeding require a gynaecological examination – these symptoms should not be self-treated.
- During pregnancy, use only after consulting your gynaecologist.
- Do not use if you are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients.
Pharmacist's advice:
Insert the suppository in the evening, lying down, so that it can melt and spread overnight; a panty liner is useful the next morning, as some of the melted base may leak out. Follow the full 10-day application rather than stopping as soon as you feel better.
If symptoms such as itching, burning or unusual discharge keep coming back, it is worth having a swab taken by your gynaecologist – Probiovag supports the vaginal flora, but recurrent infections need a diagnosis and, if necessary, targeted therapy.
