Muvagyn is a medication for vaginal use.

The bacterial strainsLactobacillus gasseriandLactobacillus rhamnosuscontained in Muvagyn are part of the natural vaginal microbiota.

Muvagyn is used:

• For normalization of the altered vaginal microbiota (vaginal microbiota) after antibiotic treatment for bacterial vaginosis (bacterial vaginal infections)
• To maintain a normal vaginal microbiota (vaginal microbiota) in cases of recurrent vaginal infections

In bacterial vaginosis (bacterial vaginal infections), the normal bacterial balance of the vagina is altered: there is an increased presence of certain types of bacteria, and as a result, the vaginal pH value is elevated. Common symptoms may include increased discharge with an unpleasant fishy odor, itching, and burning. Bacterial vaginosis (bacterial vaginal infection) is generally treated with antibiotics, and Muvagyn can be used as a continuation treatment.

Muvagyn provides the vagina with live lactic acid bacteria, which are part of the natural vaginal flora. These bacteria multiply naturally in the vagina and support the mechanisms of protection against vaginal infections. The bacteria produce lactic acid and therefore help to restore the natural pH value in the vagina. By adhering to the vaginal mucosa, lactobacilli limit the growth capacity of unwanted bacteria.

In addition to lactic acid,Lactobacillus gasserialso produces hydrogen peroxide and therefore has a positive influence on the vaginal flora. These properties of lactic acid bacteria are important for restoring and maintaining a natural vaginal flora.

Do not use Muvagyn

• if you are allergic to lactobacilli (bacteria of lactic acid, such as for exampleLactobacillus gasseriorLactobacillus rhamnosus) or to any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
