Pharmacology
In vitro studies showed that this gel (lactic acid, citric acid and potassium bitartrate) works in the vagina by lowering the pH and by reducing sperm motility. When the gel is placed in the vagina, the amount of lactic acid, citric acid and potassium bitartrate that enters the bloodstream is not expected to cause safety concerns.
The gel was also tested in vitro with some commonly used vaginal preparations, namely miconazole, metronidazole, tioconazole and a product for maintaining normal vaginal pH. None of these had a significant effect on the pH or buffering capacity of the gel.

Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Use 5 g of Lactic acid + Citric acid + Potassium bitartrate gel vaginally with the applicator provided, immediately before each episode of vaginal intercourse or up to one hour before it. You can use it at any part of the menstrual cycle, or as the physician directs.
How to use the gel: follow the instructions in the diagrams below. Screw the applicator onto the tube in place of the cap. Squeeze the tube gently at its lower end so the applicator fills to the 5 g mark. Unless the physician has prescribed otherwise, the applicator must be filled completely to 5 g. After taking the measured amount of gel, remove the applicator from the tube and close the tube immediately with the cap. Lie down with your knees raised and spread apart, and delicately insert the applicator into the vagina as deeply as possible. Push the piston so the gel goes in completely, then pull out the applicator without touching the piston.
After each application, clean the applicator carefully with warm water and soap. Don't use water hotter than 50°C, and don't use solvents. Then wipe the applicator and store it in its packet. Always wash your hands afterwards with mild soap and warm water. The gel is not greasy and can easily be removed with water.
