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.
