Abstract:

Objective: to evaluate the efficacy of Multi-Gyn ActiGel in treating bacterial vaginosis (BV) as a typical biofilm infection and in preventing its recurrence in pregnant women. Subjects and methods. A study group (Group 1) included 50 pregnant women with threatened preterm labor and new-onset BV. A comparison group (Group 2) consisted of 30 pregnant women with BV who had been treated with metronidazole and clindamycin 3 months prior to their admission. Clinical and laboratory examinations were conducted. During therapy for BV, Group 1 received Multi-Gyn ActiGel; Group 2 took a probiotic. Conclusion. Multi-Gyn ActiaGel is an effective drug to treat BV and to prevent its recurrence and it acts on biofilm infection. It is safe for the fetus and can be prescribed to pregnant women in the early gestational periods when the problems of the most effective prevention of complications of pregnancy and labor are solved.
