Lactofem® moisturising cream with applicator, 25 G

Lactofem® Moisturising Cream provides intensive moisture for vaginal dryness. Gentle care without hormones, ideal for itching and burning. Also suitable as a lubricant.

Lactofem® Moisturising Cream is a white to almost white, smooth cream that has been developed for the treatment of vaginal dryness. Lactofem® Moisturising Cream is free from hormones (e.g. oestrogens) and can therefore also be used in combination with hormone replacement therapy or alternating with hormone-containing vaginal creams or vaginal suppositories.

Properties

• Moisturises and cares for the skin in the vagina and external genital area
• Relieves symptoms such as dryness, burning and itching
• Also suitable during pregnancy
• Also suitable as a lubricant

What's special about Lactofem® Moisturising Cream

• The high water content of the cream ensures that the skin in the vaginal and external genital area is moisturised.
• Its nourishing lipids (fats) keep the skin supple.
• Thanks to the addition of lactic acid, the cream is adjusted to a pH value of 4.4 and thus helps to maintain the natural pH value of the vagina.
• As it does not contain any hormones (e.g. oestrogens), it can also be used together with hormone replacement therapy or alternating with hormone-containing vaginal creams or vaginal suppositories.

Indications

Lactofem® Moisturising Cream is used to relieve and prevent discomfort caused by dryness in the vagina and external genital area (feeling of dryness, burning, itching or pain during sexual intercourse). Lactofem® Moisturising Cream can also be used to facilitate sexual intercourse.

How does Lactofem® Moisturising Cream work?

The properties of Lactofem® Moisturising Cream help to alleviate the symptoms of vaginal dryness:

• The cream's high water content moisturises the skin around the vagina and external genital area.
• Nourishing lipids (fats) keep the skin supple.

The addition of lactic acid adjusts the cream to a pH value of 4.4 - Lactofem® Moisturising Cream therefore helps to maintain a natural pH value in the vagina. Regular use of Lactofem® Moisturising Cream can help to prevent irritation and inflammation in the vagina and external genital area.

How to use

Lactofem® Moisturising Cream is intended for use in the vagina and on the skin of the external genital area. Lactofem® Moisturising Cream can be used with or without an applicator. Please wash your hands before using the cream and pay attention to hygiene in the intimate area.

The cream can also be used during menstruation.

Before first use: Before using the tube for the first time, unscrew the cap and press it upside down onto the tube opening to open the membrane cap.

Use without an applicator: For discomfort in the vaginal entrance and external genital area, apply and spread the cream with a clean finger as required, even several times a day. A strip of cream approx. 0.5 cm long is sufficient for this.

Application with applicator: Lactofem® Moisturising Cream can be inserted into the vagina using the applicator. To make insertion easier, a small amount of cream can be applied in the area of the vaginal entrance. Please observe the following instructions for use:

1. Hold the tube opening upwards, screw the applicator onto the tube opening.
2. Fill the applicator tube halfway with cream (approx. 2.5 g cream) by applying light, even pressure to the tube.
3. Unscrew the applicator from the tube.
4. Carefully insert the applicator as deeply as possible into the vagina. This is best done lying on your back with your legs slightly raised or standing up (as when inserting a tampon). Press on the plunger to empty the applicator and insert the cream into the vagina (see illustration).
5. After use, clean the applicator as follows: Press the spherical end of the applicator plunger firmly onto a firm surface. This separates the plunger from the applicator tube. Then carefully clean the plunger and applicator tube separately with warm water until no substance residue remains. Allow the applicator parts to air dry on a clean, dry surface. Once completely dry, reassemble the applicator by inserting the plunger into the tube. During pregnancy, the cream should be inserted into the vagina without the applicator for safety reasons. Instead, a 2 cm length of cream can be inserted into the vagina with a clean finger. The cream should be applied once a day, preferably in the evening before going to bed (use a panty liner if necessary). Once the symptoms have improved, the frequency of application can be reduced as required.

Duration of use: Lactofem® Moisturising Cream can also be used over a longer period of time if well tolerated.
