Product description

Our ELANEE Lactic Acid Treatment is a medicated vaginal gel free of colorants and fragrances with a pH value below 4.0. It safely and effectively increases the acidity of the vaginal environment and helps restore and maintain the natural vaginal pH. This supports the restoration of a balanced and healthy vaginal flora.

The product comes with 7 individually wrapped, disposable plastic applicators, which can be used to apply the vaginal gel daily for a period of 7 days.

Ingredients: Aqua, Glycerin, Xanthan Gum, Glyceryl Caprylate, Lactic Acid
An applicator consists of: Polyethylene (PE)

Pharmaceutical Central Number (PZN): 13748711

You can find the safety instructions for the product in our user manual under the “Downloads” tab.

Areas of application

The pH value of a healthy vaginal area is between 3.8 and 4.4. By supporting the restoration of a balanced and healthy vaginal flora, symptoms of bacterial vaginal infections, such as itching, burning, abnormal discharge, or unpleasant odor, are prevented.

Our lactic acid treatment is suitable for:

If there is a known vaginal imbalance (vaginal pH > 4.4)
In the case of bacterial vaginosis
For the prevention of recurring bacterial vaginal infections (vaginosis)
To effectively increase the acidity of the vaginal environment to restore the natural vaginal pH
After antibiotic treatment, a vaginal infection or vaginal yeast infection treatment

At the beginning of use, a mild to severe burning sensation may occur due to the low pH value (3.8 pH) of the lactic acid treatment and increased vaginal sensitivity. This should subside as the vaginal flora gradually restores.

The treatment is intended for daily self-application over a period of 7 days.

The treatment can be used during an uncomplicated pregnancy.

If symptoms worsen or do not improve after 7 days, a visit to a doctor is recommended.

Further information

Lactic acid bacteria ensure a healthy vaginal flora and prevent the colonization and spread of harmful bacteria. If the vaginal environment contains too few lactic acid bacteria, the vaginal pH rises, allowing bacteria to colonize more easily and spread more quickly. Bacterial vaginal infections are accompanied by various symptoms such as itching, burning, dryness, increased discharge, or unpleasant odor. Severe, untreated infections can lead to inflammation and infertility. In pregnant women, ascending infections can trigger premature labor, ruptured membranes, or possibly premature birth. The ELANEE lactic acid treatment has a pH of less than 4.0 and enables the normalization of the vaginal flora. In addition, the body has time to produce its own lactic acid and regenerate itself in order to rebuild a healthy vaginal flora.

Storage and shelf life
The aluminum tube should be protected from sunlight and transported and stored in a dry place within a temperature range of 5°C to 25°C. The lactic acid gel has a best-before date on the packaging. The product can be disposed of with normal household waste.

Questions & Tips

Here you will find all the information and answers to your questions about our products.

How long should the lactic acid treatment be used?

The lactic acid treatment is a 7-day treatment and should be used once daily during this period.

Why does the lactic acid treatment burn during (the first) use?

The lactic acid gel has a low pH of approximately 3.8. In cases of bacterial vaginosis, the vaginal pH is usually elevated at the beginning of use (> pH 4.5). As the vaginal flora gradually restores itself, i.e., the pH decreases during use, the burning sensation should subside.

How often can the lactic acid treatment be used?

The lactic acid treatment can be used repeatedly if the vaginal flora is sensitive and prone to infection, for example, monthly as a preventative measure after menstruation. However, if you have existing bacterial vaginosis, you should consult a doctor if your symptoms do not improve after the 7-day treatment.

How do you use the lactic acid treatment?

It is applied daily for 7 days. To do this, screw the included applicator onto the tube and press the lactic acid gel into the applicator until it stops (approximately 2.5 ml or ½ the applicator is full). Then twist off the applicator and apply the gel vaginally. The exact application steps can be found in the instructions for use.

Is a lactic acid treatment suitable for vaginal yeast infections?

No. Once a diagnosis of vaginal yeast infections has been confirmed, a doctor will usually prescribe an antifungal medication. After successful treatment of the yeast infection, a lactic acid treatment can help stabilize and maintain a healthy vaginal flora and prevent vaginal infections.

Can the lactic acid treatment be used during pregnancy?

Yes, the lactic acid treatment can generally be used during pregnancy. During a problematic pregnancy or in cases of doubt, you should consult a doctor.

How do I use the lactic acid treatment?

Ensure clean conditions, e.g., by washing my hands thoroughly. Unscrew the gel tube and pierce the seal on the tube opening with the upside-down cap. Remove the applicator from the foil packaging shortly before use and screw it onto the opened gel tube. Slowly squeeze the lactic acid gel out of the tube until the applicator is about half full (approx. 2.5 ml). Caution! Do not squeeze any gel past the plunger! Carefully unscrew the half-full applicator from the tube. Lie on your back—ideally in the evening before going to bed—with your legs slightly drawn up and place a towel under your pelvic area. Insert the filled applicator about 2-3 cm into the vagina, similar to a tampon. Slowly press the plunger to squeeze the gel completely out of the applicator into the vagina. Due to its low pH value, the gel may cause a brief, mild burning sensation on sensitive mucous membranes. Dispose of the used applicator in the household waste and repeat the application with a new applicator on the following days. Tip: After applying the lactic acid gel, it may be advisable to wear a panty liner or sanitary pad, as increased discharge may occur.
