Octenisept Vaginaltherapeutikum (Octenidine Dihydrochloride, Phenoxyethanol (Ph. Eur.))

Octenisept Vaginaltherapeutikum is an antiseptic that acts on the vaginal mucosa to control microbial growth.

• Bacterial vaginosis: Helps reduce the bacterial load contributing to symptoms.
• Yeast infections (candidiasis): Provides adjunctive antimicrobial activity alongside antifungal therapy.
• Post‑procedural care: Assists in maintaining hygiene after gynecological examinations or minor procedures.

• Octenidine dihydrochloride exerts its antiseptic effect by binding to bacterial cell membranes, disrupting membrane integrity and causing rapid leakage of intracellular contents. Phenoxyethanol acts as a preservative and contributes additional broad‑spectrum antimicrobial activity, together limiting colonisation of Gram‑positive and Gram‑negative organisms in the vaginal environment.

Octenisept Vaginaltherapeutikum is generally well tolerated when applied as directed.
