pharmachologic effect

Hexicon belongs to the pharmacotherapeutic group of drugs with antiseptic and disinfectant effects . By interacting with the structures of the microbial cell , it disrupts vital activity, inhibits development and provokes the death of pathogenic microflora .

The use of various dosage forms of Hexicon in gynecological practice allows not only to successfully combat pathogenic microorganisms , but also to prevent PP-transmitted infectious diseases.

Indications

Hexicon solution and tablets (vaginal suppositories) are prescribed for the treatment of the following diseases:

Prostatitis and urethritis
Pathologies of the epidermis and mucous membranes
Wounds and burns with exudate
In dentistry: gingivitis, stomatitis, periodontal disease, ulcerations of the oral mucosa associated with trauma
Prevention of genital infections
Treatment of vulvitis, colpitis and vaginitis in gynecological practice
Dermatology: impetigo, diaper rash, pyoderma, bedsores
Gangrenous balanitis in men
Infections of the alveoli, aphthae in dentistry
Inflammatory process associated with intrauterine contraceptive
Erosive manifestations on the neck.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Chlorhexidine, which is part of Hexicon as an active component , is a strong disinfectant, sensitivity to which is shown by a wide range of microorganisms , including Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria , protozoa , herpes viruses .

Hexicon is effective against:

gonococci (Neisseria gonorrhoeae);
Treponema pallidum (Treponema pallidum);
chlamydia (Chlamydia spp.);
gardnerella (Gardnerella vaginalis);
ureaplasma (Ureaplasma spp.);
bacteroides fragilis (Bacteroides fragilis);
trichomonas (Trichomonas vaginalis);
herpesvirus type II (HSV-2).

Some strains of Pseudomonas spp. and Proteus spp. are characterized by low sensitivity to the drug . Viruses , fungi , bacterial spores , and acid-resistant bacteria are resistant to its effects .

the chlorhexidine included in Hexicon the drug has a number of advantages over other antimicrobial and antiseptic agents . He:

does not disrupt the natural microflora of the female genital tract and does not affect the activity of lactobacilli ;
microorganisms sensitive to it (even with repeated use);
approved for use in the treatment of pregnant and lactating women ;
remains (albeit to a lesser extent) active in the presence of bloody discharge and pus.

The effectiveness of suppositories is also ensured by the properties of polyethylene oxide 1500 (Polyaethylenoxydum 1500) and polyethylene oxide 400 (Polyaethylenoxydum 400) included in their composition. These substances ensure a more uniform distribution of the active substance over the surface of the mucous membrane and its deeper penetration into the tissue.

In addition, the polyethylene oxide base dehydrates pathogenic microorganisms and cleanses the mucous membrane of their metabolic products that accumulate on it.

Hexicon vaginal tablets were developed as an alternative to suppositories. For some women, they are somewhat more convenient than candles, since they do not increase the volume of discharge and, therefore, do not require the use of additional hygiene products.

It is practically not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract , as well as through the skin and mucous membranes when applied topically. Systemic absorption when using Hexicon tablets intravaginally is extremely insignificant.

If 0.3 g is inadvertently ingested, Cmax is reached after half an hour and is 0.206 µg/l.

The drug is eliminated from the body mainly with the contents of the intestines (90%), less than 1% is excreted by the kidneys.

Increasing the temperature of the solution causes an increase in its bactericidal effect . However, at temperatures exceeding 100°C, partial decomposition of the drug occurs.

How to administer suppositories?

To prevent the contents from leaking out after inserting the suppository, the woman should lie on the bed with her legs bent at the knee joints. The suppository is inserted as deep as possible into the vagina with the index finger (to the depth of a finger if possible).

If the suppository is not inserted deeply enough, it may fall out after the woman stands up, without having time to dissolve.

The principle of action of Hexicon is similar to the principle of vaginal baths. The peculiarity of these suppositories is that they are used several times a day, as a result of which the amount of discharge increases significantly. Taking this into account, panty liners should be changed as often as possible during the treatment period.

Another feature of suppositories is that before their administration there is no need for additional vaginal or douching, which makes their use more convenient in comparison with other vaginal suppositories.

An important recommendation for the period of treatment is the exclusion of sexual intercourse. If therapy is carried out against the background of regular sexual activity, a positive result will not be achieved. There remains a risk of re-infection and, as a result, it may be necessary to prescribe drugs not only local, but also systemic.

Using Hexicon during menstruation

Quite often questions arise whether it is possible to use suppositories during menstruation and whether it is allowed to be treated with vaginal tablets during menstruation.

The instructions for Hexicon indicate that the use of suppositories and tablets during menstruation is acceptable. This is due to the fact that the active substance of the drug retains (albeit to a slightly lesser extent) pharmacological properties in the presence of pus, bloody discharge and other biological fluids.

How to store at home

Vaginal suppositories, tablets and solution should be stored with other medications out of the reach of children, in a dark and dry place and not above +25 ° C.

Since suppositories quickly melt under the influence of body temperature, it is better to store them in a cool room (not higher than +25 ° C), and preferably in the refrigerator, usually on the top shelf in the door.

It is better to store medications in individual packages. Shifting or transfusion (solution) may spoil the drug. Contact with air or sun is not always necessary. Open the individual packaging only when you are going to use the drug. This applies to sealed packages, and the box itself will not affect the drug, but it is still better to store it in the box, since the drug is located there along with the instructions.

Do not freeze or heat the medicine (in any form) under any circumstances, as these actions can lead to decomposition of the medicine.

Hexicon during pregnancy

All dosage forms produced under the Hexicon brand, with the exception of vaginal tablets, are allowed to be prescribed during pregnancy and lactation . The instructions for Hexicon suppositories during pregnancy and lactation indicate that this remedy is considered not only effective, but also safe for both mother and child.

As for vaginal tablets, their use is possible if the benefit to the mother outweighs the risk to the fetus.

Hexicon suppositories during pregnancy are one of the most frequently prescribed drugs for the treatment and prevention of gynecological diseases . The safety of the drug is ensured by its local effect and is confirmed by many years of experience in use.

Acting locally, its active substance practically does not enter the systemic bloodstream and, thus, does not pose a threat to the normal development of the child. Therefore, suppositories can be used at all stages of pregnancy.

Hexicon effectively affects pathogenic microorganisms that cause female diseases, but does not provoke any disturbances in the vagina’s own microflora .

In the 1st and 2nd trimesters, this makes it possible to prescribe a drug for the prevention of infectious diseases transmitted by PP ( syphilis , ureaplasmosis , trichomoniasis , gonorrhea , chlamydia , genital herpes ), and for the treatment of vaginitis , colpitis , bacterial vaginosis , endo- and exocervicitis .

In the 3rd trimester (and, in particular, before childbirth), Hexicon is prescribed to prevent the development of infectious and inflammatory processes immediately during and after childbirth.

Suppositories are also used for cervical erosion . It is advisable to prescribe them in cases where the cause of ulceration is the activity of pathogens transmitted by PP, or inflammatory “female” pathologies.

During pregnancy , Hexicon is most often prescribed for bacterial vaginosis , when pathogenic bacteria predominate the vagina , and the number of lactic acid bacteria (lactobacillus) is reduced or these bacteria are completely absent.

A decrease in the number of lactic acid bacteria in a pregnant woman against the background of bacterial vaginosis can cause the development of vulvovaginal candidiasis (or, in other words, thrush ).

As practice shows, every year there are more and more of candidiasis and bacterial vaginosis For this reason, there is a very widespread opinion about the effectiveness of Hexicon suppositories for thrush .

Hexicon candles for thrush

of vulvovaginal candidiasis is provoked , which, like many viruses , bacterial spores and acid-resistant species of bacteria , is immune to the effects of chlorhexidine .

So why are these suppositories prescribed during pregnancy for thrush ? The thing is that the cause of thrush is the uncontrolled growth of colonies of the fungus Candida , which can be provoked, among other things, by the activity of infectious pathogens - gonococci , trichomonas and other bacteria and protozoa .

In such cases, when the infection is of a mixed, fungal-bacterial nature , the advisability of using Hexicon is due to its ability to effectively relieve signs of inflammation, reduce tissue swelling and significantly reduce the severity of pain.

To combat excessively multiplied fungus , which is the direct source of the disease, antimycotic drugs in the form of gels, creams and vaginal tablets (for example, Fluconazole , Pimafucin or Clotrimazole ).

It is important to remember that self-medication - especially during pregnancy - is unacceptable, and Hexicon for thrush is prescribed only on the basis of a medical examination and passing all the necessary tests.

Thus, Hexicon suppositories are an effective and safe antibacterial agent for local use, however, for the treatment of candidiasis , it is recommended to choose drugs that can actively suppress the main culprit of the disease.

A prerequisite for successful treatment is compliance with personal hygiene requirements and, in some cases, the preparation of a special dietary menu, which involves limiting the amount of food with a high carbohydrate content and introducing a sufficient amount of fermented milk products into the diet.

Medicinal properties

Chlorhexidine in Hexicon belongs to the group of cationic biguanides. Penetrates through bacterial membranes, combines with cytoplasmic connections, changes the structure of the membranes of strains. The substance blocks the supply of oxygen, which causes a decrease in the amount of adenosine triphosphates, without which the virus loses its ability to reproduce and dies. Long-term antimicrobial properties persist for 6 hours after the start of treatment.

Hexicon is active in therapeutic measures against the following pathogens:

Treponema
Chlamydia
Ureaplasma
Neisseri
Bacteroides
Gardnerella
Trichomonas
Gonorrhoeae
Candida Herpesviridae types 1 and 2.

Proteas and pseudomonads, acid-resistant species and protozoa exhibit resistance to Hexicon. In the presence of blood and exudate, the properties of the drug are slightly reduced. The product does not affect microflora and does not change the number of lactobacilli. It does not penetrate healthy tissue and is practically not absorbed from the digestive organs. The medication is 90% removed through peristalsis, more than 1.5% is excreted through the renal system.

Reviews about Hexicon

There are quite a lot of reviews about Hexicon on the forums. There are both positive and negative among them. Among the advantages of the drug, patients note:

the effectiveness of the product and its speed;
the ability to use it for preventive purposes;
ease of use;
safety of use during pregnancy and lactating women;
mild action and hypoallergenic.

Negative reviews about Hexicon suppositories are largely due to the fact that after administration the suppository begins to leak, causing inconvenience, as well as adverse reactions in the form of itching, burning and bleeding.

During pregnancy, Hexicon suppositories - reviews from doctors and patients are proof of this - are not only safe, but also highly effective, which, among other things, in the early stages in some cases cannot be replaced by any other drug.

Reviews about the use of Hexicon during pregnancy

Pregnant women use Hexicon suppositories at different times for treatment, as well as for preventive purposes before childbirth. Analyzing the reviews, we can conclude that they helped some, while others required re-treatment after some time.

There are also cases where suppositories not only did not help, but even caused allergies . Some women note that after treatment with Hexicon suppositories they experienced pinkish vaginal discharge (if this occurs, you must consult a doctor).

Some negative reviews about Hexicon during pregnancy are due to the fact that when suppositories are heated in the vagina, they begin to “melt” and flow out, which can be regarded as a plug or water draining.

To feel comfortable, doctors recommend using daily or, if necessary, regular (as for menstruation) pads during treatment with Hexicon suppositories.
