Gynover

Gynover is an over‑the‑counter probiotic product that contains the active bacterial strains Lactobacillus gasseri DSM 14869 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus DSM 14870. It is formulated for vaginal administration and is marketed in the European Union to support genitourinary health by helping to maintain a balanced vaginal microbiota.

Gynover is intended to support the natural balance of vaginal flora and may be used in situations where the microbiome is disrupted. It is commonly considered for:

- Restoration of normal vaginal microbiota after antibiotic therapy - Adjunctive care for recurrent bacterial vaginosis - Maintenance of vaginal health in women with a history of yeast infections - Support during hormonal changes such as menopause - General promotion of genitourinary comfort

Side effects associated with vaginal probiotic products are generally mild and transient, but users should be aware of both common and less frequent reactions.

Common: - Mild vaginal irritation or itching - Slight increase in discharge that is clear or white - Temporary burning sensation during application

Serious: - Persistent or worsening irritation that does not improve - Signs of an allergic reaction such as swelling, rash, or hives

Before using Gynover, consider the following safety points to ensure appropriate use and minimize risk.

- Do not use if you have a known hypersensitivity to any Lactobacillus strains - Consult a healthcare professional if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding - Avoid use during active vaginal infections without medical guidance - Keep the product out of reach of children and store according to label instructions - Discontinue use and seek advice if symptoms worsen or persist - Do not use past the expiration date printed on the packaging

While Gynover is a probiotic and generally has a low potential for drug interactions, certain situations warrant caution.

Avoid: - Concurrent use with intravaginal antifungal or antibacterial agents without professional advice - Application immediately after a vaginal douching solution that contains antiseptics

Use with caution: - When using hormonal contraceptives, monitor for any unusual vaginal symptoms - In combination with systemic antibiotics, as they may affect probiotic viability - If you are using other vaginal suppositories or tablets, separate administration times by at least 2 hours
