Lactobacillus Acidophilus 150 million CFU/g Vaginal Cream is a specialized semisolid formulation intended for the treatment and maintenance of a healthy vaginal flora. This cream is compounded with live Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria, which are a type of beneficial microorganism naturally found in the vaginal environment. The concentration of 150 million Colony Forming Units (CFU) per gram ensures that a sufficient number of live bacteria are available to exert their therapeutic effect upon application.
The formulation is designed to be dispensed in a tube, which allows for easy and hygienic application. The cream's consistency is specifically tailored for vaginal use, ensuring that it adheres to the mucosal surfaces without causing discomfort or irritation. This delivery system is not only convenient but also allows for precise dosing, which is critical for the effectiveness of the treatment.
Lactobacillus Acidophilus Vaginal Cream is primarily used to restore and maintain normal vaginal flora. It is particularly beneficial in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, a condition characterized by an imbalance in the vaginal microbiota. By replenishing the vagina with healthy bacteria, this formulation helps to outcompete harmful bacteria, reduce unpleasant odors, and restore the natural acidic pH of the vagina. This can lead to a reduction in symptoms and a lower risk of recurrence. Additionally, the cream may be used as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of yeast infections, as it can help to restore the balance of microorganisms following antifungal treatment.
For patients, it is important to follow the prescribed regimen and to apply the cream as directed to ensure optimal results. Prescribers should consider this formulation for patients who require a non-antibiotic approach to managing their vaginal health or for those who have recurrent issues with vaginal dysbiosis. As with any medication, potential side effects, contraindications, and interactions with other drugs should be reviewed with the patient.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is a probiotic bacterium that is commonly used to maintain or restore the natural flora in the vaginal area. As a compounding pharmacy, we have prepared a Lactobacillus acidophilus 150 million CFU/g vaginal cream to help manage and prevent certain gynecological conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and to promote general vaginal health. When considering the use of this formulation, it is important to be aware of potential drug interactions.
While Lactobacillus acidophilus is a natural component of the vaginal flora and is not known to have significant interactions with most medications, there are certain considerations to keep in mind. Antibiotics, for instance, can disrupt the balance of microorganisms in the body, including beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus. Using this vaginal cream concurrently with antibiotic therapy may reduce its effectiveness, as the antibiotic could potentially kill the probiotic bacteria in the cream. It is often recommended to separate the use of antibiotics and probiotic formulations by at least two hours.
Antifungal medications used to treat yeast infections may also interact with Lactobacillus acidophilus vaginal cream. While there is no direct antagonism, the presence of antifungal agents could potentially affect the viability of the Lactobacillus bacteria. Patients should consult with their healthcare provider to determine the best course of action when using both treatments.
Spermicidal agents and other vaginal products that alter the pH of the vagina may also impact the effectiveness of Lactobacillus acidophilus. Since these bacteria require a certain pH range to survive and colonize, using products that significantly alter the vaginal environment could reduce the probiotic's efficacy. It is advisable to avoid using these types of products concurrently with the Lactobacillus acidophilus vaginal cream.
It is also important to note that while Lactobacillus acidophilus is generally considered safe, patients with compromised immune systems or those with underlying health conditions should consult with their healthcare provider before using this product. This is to ensure that the use of probiotics is appropriate and will not pose any risk to the patient's health.
For patients and prescribers considering the use of Lactobacillus acidophilus 150 million CFU/g vaginal cream, we recommend discussing all current medications and over-the-counter products, including supplements, with a healthcare provider to identify any potential interactions. If you have any questions or require further information regarding the use of this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to provide guidance and support to ensure the safe and appropriate use of this product.
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a species of bacteria that is naturally found in the human body, primarily in the intestines and the female genital tract. This beneficial bacterium is a probiotic, which means it helps maintain a healthy balance of microorganisms in the body. The Lactobacillus Acidophilus 150 million CFU/g Vaginal Cream is a semisolid formulation that contains a high concentration of these live probiotic bacteria, with each gram of the cream providing 150 million colony-forming units (CFUs).
The mechanism by which Lactobacillus acidophilus vaginal cream works is multifaceted. When applied intravaginally, the cream introduces a significant number of Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria directly to the vaginal environment. These probiotics adhere to the vaginal mucosa and begin to colonize, helping to restore and maintain a normal, healthy vaginal flora. By doing so, they play a crucial role in outcompeting and inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria and yeast that can cause infections such as bacterial vaginosis and vulvovaginal candidiasis.
Moreover, Lactobacillus acidophilus produces lactic acid, which helps to maintain an acidic pH in the vagina. This acidic environment is inhospitable to many harmful microorganisms and is essential for the prevention of infections. The probiotics also produce bacteriocins and hydrogen peroxide, which have antimicrobial properties that further protect against pathogens. Additionally, Lactobacillus acidophilus stimulates the local immune response, enhancing the vagina's natural defenses against infection.
By restoring and supporting a healthy vaginal microbiome, Lactobacillus Acidophilus 150 million CFU/g Vaginal Cream can help treat and prevent conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and may also contribute to the overall health of the vaginal mucosa. It is important to note that while this cream can be beneficial for these conditions, it should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional, especially if symptoms are severe or persistent.
The cream is designed for ease of use, with a tube that allows for precise application. Patients are typically instructed to apply the cream intravaginally, using an applicator or their finger, depending on the specific product instructions. The frequency and duration of use will depend on the individual's condition and the advice of their healthcare provider.
