Lactic acid + Citric acid + Potassium bitartrate
Indications
This gel is used to prevent pregnancy in women of reproductive age, as an on-demand method of contraception.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
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.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
