Women's diseases - an unpleasant and costly thing. I would like to use multifunctional drugs for treatment, and not use a dozen narrowly targeted suppositories, ointments and tablets.

One of these multitasking drugs is the Miramistin antiseptic. The drug is used in the treatment of purulent skin lesions, rehabilitation of wound surfaces, for the treatment of fungal diseases, in gynecology, urology, in surgical and dental practice.

Everything for space. The history of the drug

The fact that terrestrial microorganisms feel great in zero gravity, scientists have long understood. And they also reproduce remarkably and behave even more aggressively than on Earth.

The cosmonauts needed a universal antiseptic. The complexity of the research was that the drug was supposed to act on different kinds microorganisms and fungi, but be safe for humans. Don't be addictive.

The 80s of the last century are considered the beginning of the development of Miramistin. And in 1991, the drug was launched into mass production. The first trial batches of the drug were produced under the trade name "Infacept".

A little later, the familiar name appeared - the solution was called "Miramistin".

The drug "Miramistin" is supplied in the form of a ready-made solution. The drug is released in the form of an ointment, but it is rare in pharmacies.

The concentration of the active substance in the miramistin solution is only 0.01%, therefore, the solution does not need to be further diluted. The solution is available in 0.1 L, 0.2 L or 0.5 L bottles.

The ointment is produced in tubes of 15 g. 1 g of the ointment contains 5 mg of miramistin in terms of dry matter. Ointment "Miramistin" is most often used in dermatological practice.

Noted side effect only when using the ointment. After treatment with Miramistin, burning sensation, redness may occur. skin... But these phenomena go away on their own and do not need to cancel the drug or the use of antihistamines.

Pharmacinetics - how the drug works

Miramistin is not absorbed into the mucous membranes and skin. It has an exclusively local disinfecting effect. A feature of Miramistin is that it makes even resistant hospital strains of viruses, fungi and bacteria less resistant to antibiotics.

The drug enters the cells of the pathogen and destroys the intercellular membranes.

Miramistin. Patient reviews

On my own behalf, I would like to note that "Miramistin" treated her daughter. A child at the age of one and a half years caught stomatitis - somewhere he pulled something into his mouth. The Miramistin solution was used to lubricate the mouth and gums. After 2 days, we forgot about stomatitis.

A special property of Miramistin, which is of interest in the context of this article, is antifungal activity, due to which the drug is prescribed for thrush in dentistry and gynecology.

What is a thrush?

Thrush, or - a type of fungal infection caused by yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida.

Microorganisms of this kind are conditionally pathogenic, that is, normally they are part of the microflora of the mouth, intestines, vagina, and during normal vital activity of the body they do not cause symptoms of the disease.

However, under the influence of external or internal environmental factors (stress, hypothermia, decreased immunity, chronic diseases, taking antibiotics, metabolic disorders, overwork, hormonal disruptions), these microorganisms become pathogenic for humans.

Fungi of the genus Candida are capable of lysis (destruction) of erythrocytes, damage to the epithelium of the skin and mucous membranes; block local immune reactions, can form a protective capsule while in the body, which makes them immune to the action of the immune system.

Mushrooms of the genus Candida under a microscope

Thrush can occur on many tissues and organs, but most often it occurs in the mouth () and genitals, both in men and women (urogenital candidiasis).

Oral mucosa candidiasis is more common in newborns, but may also occur in older children. At the same time, the child develops a white curdled coating on the tongue, inner lips and cheeks, which cannot be washed off with a regular rinse.

The patient may be worried about soreness and hypersensitivity mucous membranes, hyperemia, edema. Newborns with candidiasis of the mouth often cry, refuse to eat, they have increased salivation.

Genital candidiasis occurs when the balance of normal microflora is disturbed, white bloom, redness (hyperemia), itching, tingling, burning in the external genital area. Women have a sharp-smelling acidic discharge from the vagina, there may be pain during urination or intercourse. Men experience burning and itching in the area foreskin and the glans penis, which is also accompanied by a foul-smelling cheesy discharge.

The disease is transmitted by sexual and contact-household routes, and a transplacental route is also possible - from mother to child.

The growth and reproduction of fungi of the genus Candida leads to damage to the mucous membranes and weakening of local tissue immunity, which can provoke additional infection of the focus with coccal flora and other pathogenic microorganisms. That is why an attentive approach and complex therapy are necessary for candidiasis.

Treatment of candidiasis of any organ system can be general and local. At the initial stages of the development of the disease against thrush, it is recommended to use local antiseptics with focal action, one of the best among them is Miramistin.

Hypoallergenicity of the drug, non-toxicity, no side effects and the absence of a systemic effect on the body makes it possible to use Miramistin for thrush in infants.

Thrush in newborns most often occurs if the mother has been infected - when the fetus passes through the birth canal, pathogenic fungi penetrate the mucous membranes of the child, causing infection.

Also, infection can occur with insufficient disinfection of objects with which the baby is in contact - nipples, toys, bottles for baby food, diapers.

For treatment, a solution of Miramistin is used in the form of a spray of 0.01% concentration in a package with a dispenser.

It is necessary to irrigate the child's mucous membranes with Miramistin, the frequency of application will be determined by the pediatrician. For older children, mouthwashes several times daily after meals can be used instead of spraying.

Usually, the medicine does not cause side and allergic reactions, but in advanced cases of the disease, a slight burning sensation is possible, which occurs due to the washing off of the fungal film from delicate skin.

Possible contraindications: individual intolerance active substance Miramistin, which can manifest itself in the form of a strong burning sensation and other uncomfortable sensations.

Treatment of thrush in women

For women, the use of Miramistin is most relevant for gynecological purposes for the treatment of thrush on the genitals, as well as for maintaining the proper level of intimate hygiene.

The most common method of treating thrush in women is douching, for which you need to purchase a solution of Miramistin 500 ml and a syringe. Irrigation is done 2-3 times a day, in the bathroom. 10-15 ml of the drug is injected into the vagina in several repetitions. There may be a slight burning sensation that disappears as the procedure is completed.

One more efficient method treatment of candidiasis - the introduction of hygienic tampons impregnated Miramistin, in the vagina for 2-3 hours.

It is more efficient because active substance during the entire procedure, it is directly in the focus of infection, compared to douching, in which the solution immediately flows out of the vagina.

To neutralize thrush on the external genital organs, you can use Miramistin ointment - it is applied to the surface of the labia with a thin layer, while not rubbing, and after 2-4 hours, the remnants of the drug are removed with sanitary napkins or washing.

Also, Miramistin is available in the form of candles. At night, they are inserted into the vagina, the duration of the course of treatment is determined by the gynecologist. If necessary, antifungal drugs are additionally prescribed for oral administration (Fluconazole and its analogues).

Treatment of thrush with Miramistin during pregnancy is absolutely safe. The drug is not absorbed into the bloodstream, but has only a superficial effect, thus, the possible harm to the fetus is minimized.

The use of the drug during menstruation is impractical, since abundant discharge simply will not allow the active substance to linger on the affected mucous membrane of the vagina and cervix.

During pregnancy, it is undesirable to douch, therefore it is better to give preference to tampons, suppositories and ointments with Miramistin.

Miramistin is used after unprotected intercourse, as the drug is very effective for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. Spirochetes, treponemas, chlamydia, Trichomonas, gonococci and other pathogenic microorganisms are sensitive to the drug.

Prevention makes sense if it is carried out no more than 2 hours after intercourse. In this case, you can significantly reduce the risk of contracting an STD.

For intimate hygiene Miramistin can be used to maintain normal microflora in the genitourinary system.

Treatment of candidiasis in men

Male thrush is often latent. Treatment is usually carried out locally, most often this is sufficient, since due to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the body, urine has a bactericidal effect on pathogenic microflora and suppresses the development of the fungus.

For the treatment of thrush in men, washing of the urethra with Miramistin solution, treatment of the external genital organs with a spray, and the application of a therapeutic antiseptic ointment are used.

There is an opinion

In many cases, Miramistin really helps to get rid of thrush, which is confirmed by numerous reviews.

The pediatrician discovered thrush in the mouth of the newborn son. What is strange, I have never suffered from this disease, probably because my son pulls everything into his mouth. I lubricated the ulcers with a cotton swab soaked in Miramistin, after 2 days the child's condition improved markedly.

Christina, Barnaul

I have been suffering from candidiasis since the age of 16, I caught a little cold - immediately it appears. I always treated her with pills, and during pregnancy I was faced with the fact that nothing is possible from drugs. The Miramistin candles helped, though they are expensive, but I do not risk the child's health.

Elina, Krasnodar

It should be borne in mind that:

any treatment must be agreed with the attending physician, whose instructions must be strictly followed;
in order to avoid recurrence of infection, your sexual partner should also be treated;
if necessary, a single use of antifungal tablets is prescribed.

Do not neglect the treatment of thrush. In the initial stages, it can be harmless, but as it progresses, it becomes chronic and can cause infertility.

In general, Miramistin has no structural analogues. However, there are functional ones - these are drugs that have a similar effect on the pathogenic flora:

Pimafucin;
Vagotil;
Hexicon;
Epigenes intimacy;
Fluomizin and others.

These analogs are presented in the form of creams, ointments, gels, tablets, suppositories, solutions and sprays.

Statistics to date approvesthat the number of people with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is steadily increasing. For example, in our country in 2011, 653 thousand HIV-infected people were registered. More more number people with other venereal infections, this is clearly demonstrated by the huge queues at the dermatovenerologic dispensaries. All these problems could well have been avoided, firstly, by using contraception, and secondly, by timely prevention of STDs, if unprotected intercourse did take place.

It is to the second point that attention is so actively drawn specialists, because very often the importance of preventive measures is completely undeservedly belittled. Meanwhile, properly carried out prevention can literally save lives. What is it, what tools are better to use and how to correctly implement it?

You can find a lot on the shelves of pharmacies disinfectant solutions, with which you can carry out prevention. Not only their price tag differs, but also their effectiveness. So, the most effective and safe today is Miramistin, which is in no way inferior in quality to foreign analogues. It is he who, in the lowest concentration, is able to destroy HIV, while other disinfectant solutions cope with this task only in rather high concentrations. Miramistin is also able to effectively fight against herpes viruses, which are resistant to acyclovir. Moreover, it has been proven that with respect to specific pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases (gonorrhea, syphilis and trichomoniasis), Miramistin has a more pronounced microbicidal effect than some other disinfectants. It is important that this drug does not damage the mucous membranes of the external and internal genital organs, while simultaneously activating the work of local immunity, relieving inflammation and stimulating regeneration processes. He remains active for a long time, fighting infection. It has also been proven that this remedy helps to shorten the duration of antibiotic therapy, increasing the sensitivity of pathogenic microorganisms to antibiotics.

What specific diseases can protect miramistin? This list is quite impressive due to the broad antimicrobial action of the drug. It destroys many disease-causing bacteria, fungi, and viruses, often even those that are resistant to certain antibiotics. Thus, Miramistin used on time will prevent infection with genital herpes, HIV, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, syphilis, gonorrhea, and genital candidiasis.

However, full protection against these venereal diseases possible subject to the competent use of miramistin. It is very important to remember that the maximum effect of the drug can be obtained by applying it in the first two hours after the unprotected intercourse has taken place. The sooner you use Miramistin, the more likely it is that pathogenic bacteria or viruses will not penetrate the tissues and cause infection. The later after sexual intercourse prophylaxis was carried out, the higher the chances of getting sick.

For the prevention of STDs suitable solution for local application 0.1% in bottles of 50 and 150 ml. It comes with a urological applicator and a spray nozzle, with which the solution is very convenient to inject. Be sure to wash the external genital organs, the pubic area and the inner thighs with soap, rinse thoroughly, and then treat with a gauze cloth or cotton pad well moistened with miramistin solution. Women should inject 5 to 10 ml of miramistin into the vagina using a spray nozzle. 1.5-3 ml is injected into the urethra through the urological applicator for men, and 1.5 ml for women for 2-3 minutes. In this case, the mouth of the urethra must be pressed with fingers so that the solution does not flow out ahead of time. It is also recommended not to urinate after these procedures for at least a couple of hours.

Prevention of infections miramistin after anal sex can be conducted by both men and women. Men treat the penis as described above, and women inject a solution of miramistin into the vagina, process the entrance to the vagina and external genitalia. In this case, Miramistin acts as a disinfectant after anal sex and destroys all bacteria, viruses, fungi that enter the genital tract during the change of anal and traditional types of sex. It is not customary to treat the rectum directly with Miramistin, since it is difficult on its own, although it is implicitly effective. Consequently, during anal sex, a condom is traditionally an effective means of protection for a woman; if it was not available, it is mandatory to inject miramistin into the rectum after treatment of the urogenital organs.

After application solution you may feel light, it usually goes away within 15 seconds, allergic reactions to the drug are extremely rare. If necessary, miramistin can be used by pregnant and lactating women. It is believed that the active substance is practically not absorbed from the surface of the mucous membranes. Also, in the course of several studies, no toxic effects of miramistin on the embryo were detected.

For some, the question arises "is it necessary to carry out prevention of STDs with miramistin, if a condom was used during a dubious intercourse? "Today it is already known that a condom does not protect against some sexually transmitted infections, in particular treponema pale - the causative agent of syphilis can penetrate through microscopic pores in latex. And of course it will not protect against infection birth control pills, spermicides and other contraceptives. Therefore, if an unreliable sexual contact occurred in a condom, it is better to play it safe and use Miramistin in order to finally protect yourself - this will not be superfluous. However, don't forget the expiration date. The solution can be stored for no more than 3 years. But even if you managed to prevent STDs with Miramistin in the first two hours, it is still highly advisable to consult a venereologist within two weeks after intercourse, the safety of which you doubted.
