Probiotic WITH APPLICATOR 10 Vaginal Suppositories (Vaginal Capsules)

These work very well to counteract the "side effects" of antibiotics. They contain (and only contain) Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus gasseri, which are specific probiotics to replace/populate the "good" bacteria normally present in the vagina. As with other viewers, I tried oral probiotics and other remedies, but only THIS worked. (Oral probiotics do not all contain the right lactobacillus, so inserting regular acidophilus capsules do not "do" anything.) I used this product first to treat a yeast infection and, a few months later, to proactively prevent the effects of a long-term antibiotic regimen. The only downside is the cost, which is super expensive. But, they WORK. As for the reviewer who wrote, "A product with dangerous ingredients. It deserves no stars. Cancer causing ingredients", ...well, they must have been looking at another product. ie. Purfem contains only two strains of lactobacillus, one of which (L. rhamnosus) is currently the world's most studied probiotic bacterium. As for this product being from milk, it is not relevant in most cases. eg. Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, and these are suppositories, which are not ingested or digested. Bottom line…. Purfem works wonderfully for yeast infections and BV (and also UTI).

I read a few websites, mainly holistic (which were a bit out there for me. I mean I like all natural, but some went a bit too far. I'm not opposed to modern medicine, you know, because... Science) when I came across a UK site that recommended this product as a treatment used in Europe for Bacteria Vaginosis (BV) infections.Anyway, I had a series of BV infections that would not clear up. After taking a ridiculously strong antibiotic for the second time, and it doing nothing I ran back to my doctor. My doctor (a new one for me and I'm not sure if I'm going back to her, ever again, and gave me more evidence as to the reason why I usually seek out midwives instead of OB GYN's) insisted that the odor was not due to a BV infection and could be due to the heat or it's just my odor. Now, I've been down this road before in the past where I get flare ups for reasons unknown and I know what it smells like when I have BV, so I went on the hunt for some alternative since I knew my doctor would be of no help. So like I said, I came across a UK site and it said to use this for the treatment of BV as well as to restore your PH balance after the dreaded monthly.SO...I said what the hell do I have to lose. I ordered it, had it shipped the same day, followed the directions and instantly noticed the difference by morning. The dissolution of the capsule felt a bit weird but I haven't had a reoccurrence since. It's now January and this was August. The website I found recommended the following course of treatment:- use PurFem after a round of antibiotics if you have BV and monthly after your menstrual cycle to restore your ph balanceI didn't do that. I merely used it about 2 months later after a round of antibiotics and like I said, no issues since and I will most definitely order this again if I am hit with another round of BV.

Once you obtain this in the mail, the directions will tell you to first go to the doctor to get medication to eradicate the BV and then use this. Other reviews claimed to use this as means to substitute a doctor's prescription. I tried it without going to the doctor first to see if the claim was true and it did not help me personally. I ended up going to the doctor and was prescribed Flagyl and now I am fine. I am taking a probiotic by mouth to see if that helps prevent a reoccurrence.

Worked somewhat after about a week but only for a few days- found better results with an oral probiotic inserted vaginally- would have liked to have had more applicators in the box, having to use the same one after washing it each time was inconvenient

I used this for the first time as soon as it arrived on Friday. I decided to use it once a week at first and then dial up treatment if I felt like I needed it. Last month I had a nasty yeast infection, which I treated with Monistat, but suspected from symptoms that I also had BV. In fact, it's been on my radar for a few months but I don't care to visit doctors often. I usually treat most illness with a good dose of beneficial bacteria if I can, so figured I should start there this time, as well. I was hesitant based on some of the reviews but for naught. I'm extremely pleased. It's only been a few days, and most of my BV symptoms are completely gone. The excess discharge, unpleasant scent, and itchiness have mostly healed. I was a bit worried after intercourse with my husband two days ago that it might disrupt the balance again but so far, so good. I'll continue to dose myself once a week until all symptoms are gone completely. Extremely satisfied with my purchase.

I read a lot of reviews before I purchased this. A lot of them said very positive things but unfortunately this product did not work for me. I stopped taking it after 3 days. It seems liked it made things worse. It was very messy and exacerbated the symptoms. Don’t think I would recommend but that doesn’t mean it won’t help you.
