Clinical Research Leading to Development of Two Products for Keeping Vagina Healthy and Preventing Sexually Transmitted Infections

Abstract

Described below are 2 Products developed by us which after undergoing successful clinical trials and approval of the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) and Institutional Ethics Committees, have been transferred to Industry for making these available to potential users. These are: [1] a Polyherbal formulation BASANT with inhibitory action on a wide spectrum of genital pathogens, and [2] 3 strains of Lactobacilli (Pro-vag-Health) that make and secrete high amounts of lactic acid, are hydrophobic to enable colonization and possess arginine deiminase, the enzyme preventing the formation of foul odour derivatives. The combined use of BASANT and pro-vag-Health in the Product NAUROZ, has the highest efficacy ever achieved for curing recurrent episodes of vaginosis.
