What it is and what it is used for
Dicoflorelle Gynecological is a medicine for vaginal use.
The bacterial strain Lactobacillus plantarum contained in Dicoflorelle Gynecological is part of the natural vaginal microbial flora.

Dicoflorelle Gynecological is used:
- for the normalisation of altered vaginal microbiota after antibiotic treatment of bacterial vaginosis;
- To maintain a normal vaginal microbiota in case of recurrent vaginal infections.

Consult your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after a short period of treatment with Dicoflorelle Gynecological.

In bacterial vaginosis (bacterial vaginal infections), the normal bacterial balance of the vagina is altered. There is an increase in the presence of certain types of bacteria and, as a result, the vaginal pH value increases. Typically, the following symptoms may occur: increased discharge with an unpleasant fishy odour, itching, and burning. Bacterial vaginosis (bacterial vaginal infections) is generally treated with antibiotics and Dicoflorelle Gynecological can be used for maintenance treatment.

Dicoflorelle Gynecological supplements the vagina with live lactobacilli, which are part of the natural vaginal flora. These bacteria produce lactic acid, helping to restore the physiological vaginal pH value.
Furthermore, by adhering to the vaginal mucosa, lactobacilli limit the ability of undesirable bacteria to proliferate.

Warnings and precautions
