Pharmacological properties

Sulfaplex is a topical bactericide for vaginal application, containing a balanced combination of sulfa drugs that offer several important advantages:

  • Wider range of activity.
  • Minimum sensitivity or allergic reaction for the patient.
  • Greater power of action.
  • Greater miscibility with organic fluids.
  • Lower risk of systemic toxicity or local irritation.
  • Greater dispersion at the site of action.

Sulfaplex has an acidic pH (4-5), which adapts to the normal pH range (3.5-8) of vaginal fluids, ensuring greater bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity of sulfa drugs.

Indications

Treatment of nonspecific vaginitis and cervicitis. Post-operative therapy of the vagina and cervix. In cervical cauterizations to accelerate healing and prevent bacterial infection.
