What does Miramistin protect against?
The effect of the drug is detrimental to:
- Many aerobic and anaerobic gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms.
- A number of pathogenic fungi, including yeast and yeast-like fungi.
- Some viruses, in particular the herpes virus.
- Most pathogens that cause sexually transmitted infections: chlamydia, trichomonas, gonococci, etc.
Among other things, the drug also affects hospital strains of pathogenic bacteria that are highly resistant to antimicrobial therapy. Therefore, Miramistin in such cases helps to increase the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy.
Douching with an antiseptic
An antiseptic can also be used for douching. Is it worth doing this procedure before you visit a gynecologist? Definitely not. In this case, the doctor will not be able to conduct a full examination if you clean the vagina of bacteria.
In this case, making a correct diagnosis will be extremely difficult. For douching you will need a douche bulb, or an ordinary Esmarch mug. Rubber tubes or a syringe must be thoroughly disinfected with alcohol, and then rinsed with boiled water.
The tips of the Esmarch mug are usually boiled. You must be sure that the medical instruments are completely sterile.
This procedure must be carried out extremely carefully.

For the treatment of ENT diseases, in particular, sore throat and pharyngitis, Miramistin is used both for irrigation and for gargling. The frequency and duration of use is indicated by the doctor based on the severity of the pathological process. Another method of treating diseases of the ENT organs is inhalation with Miramistin.

How to use Miramistin in venereology
The solution effectively prevents sexually transmitted diseases. However, it should be remembered that Miramistin will provide the expected result only if it is applied within two hours after sexual intercourse.
To prevent sexually transmitted diseases, a bottle with a special urological attachment is used. It is recommended for men to inject 2-3 ml of solution into the urethra, for women - 1-2 ml. Additionally, the drug is administered into the vagina in a volume of 5-10 ml using a gynecological applicator. The skin of the external genitalia is also treated with the solution.

Instructions for use
The action of Miramistin is aimed at destroying the membranes of bacteria, which contributes to their death. Despite this, the drug has virtually no effect on the membranes of human cells. The medication has a pronounced antimicrobial effect. Therefore, it is used to combat not only gram-positive, but also gram-negative microorganisms. If the medicine is used topically, it is not able to be absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes.
The drug is used for the treatment of not only gynecological, but also dermatological, dental, otolaryngological, venereological, surgical and other pathologies. The drug should not be taken if you are hypersensitive to its components. If Miramistin is used simultaneously with antibiotics, then the resistance of microorganisms to the latter will be significantly reduced.
Since the medication is not able to influence a person’s memory and psychomotor reactions, after its use it is allowed to drive vehicles and operate complex mechanisms. To avoid various diseases of infectious etiology in the vagina, it is recommended to use medication in the form of irrigation. It is allowed to insert intravaginal tampons. In gynecology, electrophoresis of the medication is performed.
The use of the drug in pediatrics is not recommended. In childhood, using the medicine for hygiene procedures is strictly prohibited. After using Miramistin, in rare cases, a burning sensation may occur. You should not be afraid of this condition, as it goes away on its own within 30 seconds.
Miramistin is a universal medicinal antiseptic solution. That is why this drug is widely used to treat various pathological conditions. It is also recommended to use the product for genital hygiene. The drug is completely safe, which makes it possible for anyone to use it.
Precautionary measures
To avoid undesirable consequences, the drug must be used in compliance with certain rules. In case of individual intolerance to the components of the medicine, its use for intimate hygiene and treatment of various diseases is strictly prohibited. Otherwise, complications may occur that manifest themselves in the form of allergic reactions.
If after carrying out hygienic procedures a burning sensation is observed in the perineal area, then it is necessary to urgently rinse with clean water. In the future, the use of the drug for intimate hygiene is prohibited.
