Composition
The primary active ingredient in Cervugyd is chloramphenicol. Each suppository is formulated with additional substances to enhance the medication’s efficacy.
Mechanism of Action
Chloramphenicol, the active ingredient in Cervugyd, exerts its antimicrobial effects by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis at the ribosomal level, leading to bacteriostatic activity against susceptible pathogens.
Pharmacological Properties
Cervugyd demonstrates broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against various pathogens in the female reproductive system. Its mechanism of action makes it particularly effective against bacteria susceptible to chloramphenicol.
Indications for Use
Cervugyd is indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections in the female reproductive system, including but not limited to cervicitis, vaginitis, and other related conditions caused by susceptible organisms.
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity: Cervugyd is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to chloramphenicol or any other components of the product.
- Pregnancy and Lactation: The safety of Cervugyd during pregnancy and lactation has not been established. Its use in these conditions should be carefully evaluated based on the potential benefits versus risks.

Usage Instructions

Advantages Over Analogues
Cervugyd offers the advantage of targeted antibacterial therapy in gynecological infections with the convenience of once-daily dosing. Its formulation provides localized treatment with minimal systemic absorption, reducing the risk of systemic side effects compared to oral antibiotics.
