Replens™ pH (formerly RepHresh™; 4 applicators)

Replens™ pH is a hormone-free vaginal gel for the prevention and treatment of bacterial vaginosis.

For pH-dependent vaginal complaints, Replens™ pH normalizes the vaginal pH value long-term and thus promotes vaginal balance.

It quickly relieves the typical symptoms of a vaginal infection, such as burning and itching, altered discharge, and eliminates unpleasant intimate odor.

Thanks to its patented, bioadhesive gel formulation, Replens™ pH adheres to the vaginal mucosa like a protective film and works for up to 3 days.

Replens™ pH normalizes the vaginal pH value long-term and supports the proliferation of the body's own lactic acid bacteria.

Acute vaginal infections can thus be treated.

By stabilizing the healthy vaginal pH value, Replens™ pH effectively prevents the (re)occurrence of vaginal infections. Especially after any treatment of a vaginal infection with antibiotics or during a (systemic) antibiotic therapy for other diseases, the use of Replens™ pH is recommended to restore the vaginal pH balance. Also as a follow-up treatment for a vaginal yeast infection (e.g. Candida).

For the prophylaxis of bacterial vaginosis, Replens™ pH should be applied every third day.

For the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, Replens™ pH should be applied once daily for one week according to the instructions for use. Thereafter, to maintain pH balance and prevent the recurrence of symptoms, Replens™ pH should be used as described under prophylaxis of bacterial vaginosis (every 3rd day).

Ready-to-use single-dose applicators enable easy and hygienic application.

Replens™ pH is very well tolerated, and its pH-normalizing effect has been proven in clinical studies.

Replens™ pH is suitable for use with condoms and may be used (after consultation with the treating physician) during pregnancy and lactation.

Replens™ pH is available over-the-counter directly here online or at your local pharmacy.

Replens™ pH forms a protective film on the vaginal skin and, due to its pH-normalizing buffering capacity, ensures a healthy acidic pH in the vagina. This promotes the colonization and proliferation of the body's own lactic acid bacteria. This means Replens™ pH creates the conditions for a healthy and strong defensive vaginal balance.

The vaginal mucosa is constantly regenerating. Within 3 days of application, the Replens™ pH vaginal gel gradually detaches from the vaginal skin and is excreted with the dead cells via vaginal discharge. This renewal process is promoted by Replens™ pH, so that the vaginal skin becomes softer and more supple as a result.

Replens™ pH contains substances that have been used in medical products for years (see instructions for use).

In the "patented bioadhesive gel formulation" of Replens™ pH, two of these proven substances have been specifically used with the aim of high adhesion to the vaginal skin: a gelling agent (carbomer) and a swelling agent (polycarbophil). This allows Replens™ pH to adhere to the vaginal skin like a protective film and have a pH-normalizing effect. Replens™ pH is excreted with the vaginal discharge within approximately 3 days, as part of natural cell renewal.

Replens™ pH is hormone and paraben-free and contains no dyes or deodorants. Nor does it contain spermicidal substances. Replens™ pH can be used with (natural rubber) latex, polyisoprene condoms, but not polyurethane condoms.

You can apply Replens™ pH at any time (regardless of the time of day). However, it is not recommended during your period.

For acute infections, daily application is recommended.

For prevention or after a vaginal infection, Replens™ pH can be applied every 3 days.

Replens™ pH should not be used during your period, as it can combine with menstrual blood and form clumps. However, you can use Replens™ pH immediately before your period starts, so it can adhere to the vaginal skin before menstrual blood flow begins.

You should not use Replens™ pH if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.

The pH value (Latin: potentia Hydrogenii) is the measure of the hydrogen ion concentration: It measures the strength of the acidic or basic effect of an aqueous solution on a scale of 0-14. Water is neutral at pH 7. If the pH value is less than 7, the solution is acidic. At values greater than 7, the pH value indicates basic properties.

The pH value of the moist, warm vaginal environment is between 3.6 and 4.5.

Such an acidic environment is necessary:

 

Bacterial vaginosis is the most common type of vaginal infection. It increases the risk of ascending infections of the cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes, as well as urinary tract infections. In addition, sexually transmitted diseases/STDs (e.g., chlamydia infections and trichomoniasis) can more easily take hold.

Bacterial vaginosis is considered a significant risk factor in pregnancy and can lead to premature births, low birth weight of the infant, and inflammation of the uterine lining after birth.

The medical device Replens™ pH Vaginal Gel is awarded the green AUROSAN seal because only the exact amount of product required for a (sterile) application is supplied. This means that little or no residue that can no longer be used is generated during application.
