- restoration and prevention of microflora of the mucosa after a course of basic treatment for candidiasis, inflammation, hormone-dependent vaginitis;
- preparation for gynecological operations and during prenatal activities to prevent infections and dysbiosis;
- in complex therapy for sexually transmitted, viral, infectious diseases of the genital organs.

- Bifolact - contains lactic acid bacteria - acidophilic lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. The drug is 3 generations;
- Probifor - the composition includes bifidobacteria adsorbed on crushed coal with a high concentration of 5 * 108 CFU. Belongs to probiotics 4 generations.
Treatment, replacement of drugs with analogues must be carried out according to the prescription and recommendations of the attending physician.
