Lactinelle

Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, the active ingredients in Lactinelle, are probiotics presented as a vaginal probiotic for intravaginal use. They help restore normal vaginal flora and support genitourinary health in women.

GNH USA supplies Lactinelle as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Lactinelle is a genitourinary probiotic that acts on the vaginal microbiome to promote a healthy balance. - Bacterial vaginosis: helps re‑establish lactobacilli dominance to reduce recurrence. - Vaginal dysbiosis: restores normal pH and microbial balance. - Post‑antibiotic vaginal health: supports recolonisation after antimicrobial therapy.

Lactinelle is generally well tolerated, but some users may experience mild local reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Vaginal irritation: mild discomfort or redness. - Increased discharge: temporary change in volume or consistency. - Itching or burning: mild sensation at the application site. - Unpleasant odor: transient change in vaginal scent. - Allergic rash: localized skin reaction. - Mild abdominal cramping.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction: swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing. - Persistent pelvic pain: ongoing discomfort beyond the first few days. - Fever or chills: possible sign of infection. - Severe vaginal inflammation: marked swelling or ulceration. - Systemic infection: rare sepsis in immunocompromised individuals.

Before using Lactinelle, consider the following safety points. - Pregnancy: safety not established; consult a healthcare professional. - Breastfeeding: limited data; use only if recommended by a clinician. - Allergy: avoid if known hypersensitivity to Lactobacillus strains. - Immunocompromised patients: monitor for potential infection risk. - Concurrent antibiotic therapy: may reduce probiotic efficacy. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and heat.

Lactinelle may interact with certain medications; monitor as indicated.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Antibiotics: can kill probiotic bacteria, diminishing effectiveness. - Antifungals: may interfere with colonisation of beneficial lactobacilli.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Immunosuppressants: increased risk of opportunistic infection; observe patient closely. - Chemotherapy agents: monitor for signs of infection during treatment. - Hormonal contraceptives: no known interaction, but clinical observation is advised.
