Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Solkovagin is a combined local drug intended for the treatment of benign lesions of the surface tissues of the cervix.
During the use of the drug, there is an unequal effect on different types of cervical epithelium. When the solution is applied to the area of ectopic columnar epithelium (transformation zone and cervical ectopia) and subepithelial stroma (cervical erosion), their immediate devitalization and fixation is observed. In this case, the multilayer cell structures of the squamous epithelium of the vaginal part of the cervix and the vaginal mucosa, which are more resistant to the drug, are practically not damaged.
The therapeutic effect in the form of devitalization and fixation of the altered tissue develops within a few minutes and is accompanied by the appearance of a gray or yellowish-white tissue. After application of the solution, the necrotic (devitalized) epithelium remains in place in the initial phase. It forms a protective layer, which, due to the spontaneous growth of new squamous epithelial cells under it, exfoliates after a few days. In this regard, it is impossible to classify the action of Solkovagin as a cauterizing effect of acids in the usual view.
Pharmacokinetics
Solkovagin has an effect only at the site of application. During therapy, systemic absorption of active ingredients is not observed.

Solkovagin, instructions for use: method and dosage

A single therapeutic dose corresponds to the contents of 1 bottle and is designed for two procedures. The procedure is carried out using a cotton swab fixed to a wooden rod.
The application of the solution is indicated after removing vaginal mucus with a cotton swab and treating the affected area with a 3% solution of acetic acid. Having clearly defined the boundaries of the lesion visually, the doctor must treat the affected area with a solution. To enhance the therapeutic effect, after 1-2 minutes, the treatment with the solution should be repeated.
The first control examination is carried out 10 days after application of the solution. Then, the doctor should schedule the patient for a second examination after 14 days, the third follow-up examination is carried out after the next 14 days.
If, according to the results of the examination, there is no clinical effect, the patient must be prescribed re-use of the drug, followed by follow-up examinations according to the above scheme.
