pharmachologic effect
Hexicon belongs to the pharmacotherapeutic group of drugs with antiseptic and disinfectant effects . By interacting with the structures of the microbial cell , it disrupts vital activity, inhibits development and provokes the death of pathogenic microflora .
The use of various dosage forms of Hexicon in gynecological practice allows not only to successfully combat pathogenic microorganisms , but also to prevent PP-transmitted infectious diseases.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
Chlorhexidine, which is part of Hexicon as an active component , is a strong disinfectant, sensitivity to which is shown by a wide range of microorganisms , including Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria , protozoa , herpes viruses .
Hexicon is effective against:
- gonococci (Neisseria gonorrhoeae);
- Treponema pallidum (Treponema pallidum);
- chlamydia (Chlamydia spp.);
- gardnerella (Gardnerella vaginalis);
- ureaplasma (Ureaplasma spp.);
- bacteroides fragilis (Bacteroides fragilis);
- trichomonas (Trichomonas vaginalis);
- herpesvirus type II (HSV-2).
Some strains of Pseudomonas spp. and Proteus spp. are characterized by low sensitivity to the drug . Viruses , fungi , bacterial spores , and acid-resistant bacteria are resistant to its effects .
the chlorhexidine included in Hexicon the drug has a number of advantages over other antimicrobial and antiseptic agents . He:
- does not disrupt the natural microflora of the female genital tract and does not affect the activity of lactobacilli ;
- microorganisms sensitive to it (even with repeated use);
- approved for use in the treatment of pregnant and lactating women ;
- remains (albeit to a lesser extent) active in the presence of bloody discharge and pus.
The effectiveness of suppositories is also ensured by the properties of polyethylene oxide 1500 (Polyaethylenoxydum 1500) and polyethylene oxide 400 (Polyaethylenoxydum 400) included in their composition. These substances ensure a more uniform distribution of the active substance over the surface of the mucous membrane and its deeper penetration into the tissue.
In addition, the polyethylene oxide base dehydrates pathogenic microorganisms and cleanses the mucous membrane of their metabolic products that accumulate on it.
Hexicon vaginal tablets were developed as an alternative to suppositories. For some women, they are somewhat more convenient than candles, since they do not increase the volume of discharge and, therefore, do not require the use of additional hygiene products.
It is practically not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract , as well as through the skin and mucous membranes when applied topically. Systemic absorption when using Hexicon tablets intravaginally is extremely insignificant.
If 0.3 g is inadvertently ingested, Cmax is reached after half an hour and is 0.206 µg/l.
The drug is eliminated from the body mainly with the contents of the intestines (90%), less than 1% is excreted by the kidneys.

Pharmaceutically incompatible with anionic detergents (saponins, Sodium lauryl sulfate, Sodium carboxy methyl cellulose) and soap.

It is allowed to combine Hexicon with drugs containing a cationic group.
special instructions
Hygienic procedures do not affect the effectiveness and tolerability of vaginal tablets and suppositories, since the drug in these dosage forms is administered intravaginally.
When using the solution in patients with head and spinal cord injuries , as well as in patients with perforation of the eardrum , avoid getting it inside the wound.
If the solution accidentally gets on the mucous membranes of the eye , it is recommended to rinse them quickly and very well with water.
Contact of bleaching agents containing sodium hypochlorite on clothing that was previously in contact with chlorhexidine provokes the formation of brown spots on them.
Increasing the temperature of the solution causes an increase in its bactericidal effect . However, at temperatures exceeding 100°C, partial decomposition of the drug occurs.
How to administer suppositories?
To prevent the contents from leaking out after inserting the suppository, the woman should lie on the bed with her legs bent at the knee joints. The suppository is inserted as deep as possible into the vagina with the index finger (to the depth of a finger if possible).
If the suppository is not inserted deeply enough, it may fall out after the woman stands up, without having time to dissolve.
The principle of action of Hexicon is similar to the principle of vaginal baths. The peculiarity of these suppositories is that they are used several times a day, as a result of which the amount of discharge increases significantly. Taking this into account, panty liners should be changed as often as possible during the treatment period.
Another feature of suppositories is that before their administration there is no need for additional vaginal or douching, which makes their use more convenient in comparison with other vaginal suppositories.
An important recommendation for the period of treatment is the exclusion of sexual intercourse. If therapy is carried out against the background of regular sexual activity, a positive result will not be achieved. There remains a risk of re-infection and, as a result, it may be necessary to prescribe drugs not only local, but also systemic.
Using Hexicon during menstruation
Quite often questions arise whether it is possible to use suppositories during menstruation and whether it is allowed to be treated with vaginal tablets during menstruation.
The instructions for Hexicon indicate that the use of suppositories and tablets during menstruation is acceptable. This is due to the fact that the active substance of the drug retains (albeit to a slightly lesser extent) pharmacological properties in the presence of pus, bloody discharge and other biological fluids.
Reviews
Reviews of Hexicon suppositories for cystitis will help you get the most complete picture of the drug. In most cases, patients are satisfied with the result of treatment.
Anna, 46 years old
Last year I encountered cystitis and decided that I could handle it myself. Unfortunately, after a week the inflammation did not go away, it became much worse, and some vaginal discharge appeared. I had to go to the doctor, who prescribed me a bunch of medications, antibiotics and Hexicon suppositories. I was prescribed a ten-day course of 1 suppository at night. The first results became noticeable after 4 days. I can say that these are good suppositories, but they are not suitable for the treatment of cystitis as an individual drug. They performed well in combination with other medications. I didn't experience any side effects.
Evgeniya, 30 years old
I have known Hexicon for a long time. I usually use suppositories for inflammatory diseases of the uterus. I recently learned that they are used to treat cystitis, naturally, in combination with other drugs. For me, Hexicon has become a universal remedy that is always in the first aid kit. The only drawback of the product is that after administration it quickly melts, and if you stand up at this time, all the medicine ends up on your underwear. Therefore, I recommend using suppositories only before bedtime.
Tamara Anatolyevna, gynecologist
A good drug with a pronounced antiseptic effect. The drug is used in the complex treatment of cystitis if the disease is accompanied by severe discharge and itching in the vagina. In this case, the medicine will suppress pathogenic microflora, and the recovery process will be faster. If you decide to treat cystitis exclusively with Hexicon, then I will say right away that it is pointless, but in combination with antibiotics, the result will not be long in coming.

Hexicon during pregnancy
All dosage forms produced under the Hexicon brand, with the exception of vaginal tablets, are allowed to be prescribed during pregnancy and lactation . The instructions for Hexicon suppositories during pregnancy and lactation indicate that this remedy is considered not only effective, but also safe for both mother and child.
As for vaginal tablets, their use is possible if the benefit to the mother outweighs the risk to the fetus.
Hexicon suppositories during pregnancy are one of the most frequently prescribed drugs for the treatment and prevention of gynecological diseases . The safety of the drug is ensured by its local effect and is confirmed by many years of experience in use.
Acting locally, its active substance practically does not enter the systemic bloodstream and, thus, does not pose a threat to the normal development of the child. Therefore, suppositories can be used at all stages of pregnancy.
Hexicon effectively affects pathogenic microorganisms that cause female diseases, but does not provoke any disturbances in the vagina’s own microflora .
In the 1st and 2nd trimesters, this makes it possible to prescribe a drug for the prevention of infectious diseases transmitted by PP ( syphilis , ureaplasmosis , trichomoniasis , gonorrhea , chlamydia , genital herpes ), and for the treatment of vaginitis , colpitis , bacterial vaginosis , endo- and exocervicitis .
In the 3rd trimester (and, in particular, before childbirth), Hexicon is prescribed to prevent the development of infectious and inflammatory processes immediately during and after childbirth.
Suppositories are also used for cervical erosion . It is advisable to prescribe them in cases where the cause of ulceration is the activity of pathogens transmitted by PP, or inflammatory “female” pathologies.
During pregnancy , Hexicon is most often prescribed for bacterial vaginosis , when pathogenic bacteria predominate the vagina , and the number of lactic acid bacteria (lactobacillus) is reduced or these bacteria are completely absent.
A decrease in the number of lactic acid bacteria in a pregnant woman against the background of bacterial vaginosis can cause the development of vulvovaginal candidiasis (or, in other words, thrush ).
As practice shows, every year there are more and more of candidiasis and bacterial vaginosis For this reason, there is a very widespread opinion about the effectiveness of Hexicon suppositories for thrush .
Hexicon candles for thrush
of vulvovaginal candidiasis is provoked , which, like many viruses , bacterial spores and acid-resistant species of bacteria , is immune to the effects of chlorhexidine .
So why are these suppositories prescribed during pregnancy for thrush ? The thing is that the cause of thrush is the uncontrolled growth of colonies of the fungus Candida , which can be provoked, among other things, by the activity of infectious pathogens - gonococci , trichomonas and other bacteria and protozoa .
In such cases, when the infection is of a mixed, fungal-bacterial nature , the advisability of using Hexicon is due to its ability to effectively relieve signs of inflammation, reduce tissue swelling and significantly reduce the severity of pain.
To combat excessively multiplied fungus , which is the direct source of the disease, antimycotic drugs in the form of gels, creams and vaginal tablets (for example, Fluconazole , Pimafucin or Clotrimazole ).
It is important to remember that self-medication - especially during pregnancy - is unacceptable, and Hexicon for thrush is prescribed only on the basis of a medical examination and passing all the necessary tests.
Thus, Hexicon suppositories are an effective and safe antibacterial agent for local use, however, for the treatment of candidiasis , it is recommended to choose drugs that can actively suppress the main culprit of the disease.
A prerequisite for successful treatment is compliance with personal hygiene requirements and, in some cases, the preparation of a special dietary menu, which involves limiting the amount of food with a high carbohydrate content and introducing a sufficient amount of fermented milk products into the diet.
The use of Hexicon suppositories in the treatment of cystitis
Hexicon is actively prescribed to women for the treatment of inflammation in the bladder. Most often, the drug acts as an addition to the main treatment. The dosage and duration of use of suppositories are determined by the urologist based on tests and the individual characteristics of the patient’s body. Suppositories are prescribed with extreme caution to pregnant women. It is important to ensure that the woman is not at risk of miscarriage.
The standard course of treatment for cystitis involves the use of 1-2 suppositories. The first candle is placed immediately after waking up, and the second - before going to bed. After the suppository is in the vagina, it is recommended to lie down for at least 30–40 minutes. This time will be enough for the drug to dissolve and be absorbed into the mucous membrane. The duration of treatment does not exceed 7–10 days. Hexicon is used for the prevention of cystitis according to the same scheme.
Rules for using vaginal suppositories:
- It is best to light a candle while lying on your back. The drug must be injected as deeply as possible, after which you should relax and lie quietly for a while.
- Before the procedure, you must wash your hands thoroughly. If necessary, a woman should wash herself.
- Do not use a drug that has been improperly stored or has expired.
- Before starting therapy, you must study the instructions and make sure there are no contraindications.
Important! If during treatment you feel discomfort in the form of itching or burning, or notice uncharacteristic discharge, immediately notify your doctor.

Reviews about the use of Hexicon during pregnancy

There are also cases where suppositories not only did not help, but even caused allergies . Some women note that after treatment with Hexicon suppositories they experienced pinkish vaginal discharge (if this occurs, you must consult a doctor).
Some negative reviews about Hexicon during pregnancy are due to the fact that when suppositories are heated in the vagina, they begin to “melt” and flow out, which can be regarded as a plug or water draining.
To feel comfortable, doctors recommend using daily or, if necessary, regular (as for menstruation) pads during treatment with Hexicon suppositories.
Contraindications to the use of Hexicon
The drug is contraindicated in persons with hypersensitivity to its components. Prescribe drugs to children with caution.
