Pharmacological Action

NSAID for vaginal administration, belongs to the indazole group. It has anti-inflammatory and local analgesic action, and possesses antibacterial, antifungal, and antiseptic action.

The mechanism of action of the drug is associated with the stabilization of cell membranes and inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis.

Benzydamine exerts an antibacterial effect due to rapid penetration through the membranes of microorganisms with subsequent damage to cell structures, disruption of metabolic processes, and cell lysis.

It has an antifungal effect against Candida albicans. It causes structural modifications of the fungal cell wall and metabolic chains of mycetes and thus prevents their reproduction.

Pharmacokinetics

When applied topically, it is well absorbed through the mucous membranes and penetrates into inflamed tissues.

Benzydamine is excreted mainly by the kidneys and through the intestine in the form of metabolites or conjugation products.

Indications

In the postpartum period as a therapeutic and prophylactic agent for the prevention of postpartum infectious complications; specific vulvovaginitis (as part of complex therapy); nonspecific vulvovaginitis and cervicovaginitis of any etiology, including those secondarily developed against the background of chemotherapy and radiotherapy; bacterial vaginosis; prevention of postoperative infectious complications in operative gynecology.
