Dixipantol

Ovules, 100 mg/16 mg

Each ovule contains dexpanthenol 100 mg and chlorhexidine digluconate 16 mg.

Excipients: macrogol 1500, macrogol 400.

A combination medicine with antiseptic and regenerative action for the local treatment of acute and chronic vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis, endo- and exocervicitis, and cervical erosions (as part of combination therapy). It is also used for the prevention of infectious and inflammatory complications in obstetrics and gynaecology (before and after gynaecological procedures, childbirth, IUD insertion) and to accelerate mucosal regeneration after destructive treatment methods (diathermocoagulation, cryodestruction, laser coagulation).

The two components act together locally: dexpanthenol (provitamin B5) stimulates mucosal regeneration, normalises cell metabolism and has an anti-inflammatory action; chlorhexidine digluconate is a broad-spectrum antiseptic active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi and protozoa (including Trichomonas vaginalis), without disrupting the normal lactobacillus flora. It retains its activity in the presence of blood and pus.

Administer vaginally, 1 ovule twice daily for 7–10 days. If necessary, treatment may be extended up to 20 days. Wash hands before and after use. Sexual intercourse should be avoided during treatment.

Hypersensitivity to dexpanthenol, chlorhexidine digluconate or to any of the excipients.
