Conceptrol

Conceptrol: an effective local contraceptive

Conceptrol is a local contraceptive produced in Switzerland by the pharmaceutical group Silag. It is a vaginal suppository containing 150 mg of the active ingredient - nonoxynol. Conceptrol is one of the well-known international names for nonoxynol and also has several synonyms, such as ABF film, Nonoxynol, Patentex Oval N, Patentex Oval and Sterilin.

The main purpose of Conceptrol is to provide local contraception. It is intended for use by women during sexual intercourse to prevent unwanted pregnancy. However, before using Conceptrol, it is necessary to take into account some contraindications and restrictions.

First of all, the use of Conceptrol is not recommended in case of hypersensitivity to nonoxynol or other components of the drug. You should also avoid using suppositories if there are anatomical features that may make their insertion difficult, as well as in case of acute inflammatory diseases of the external genitalia.

When using Conceptrol, some side effects may occur, including irritation of the mucous membranes. The interaction of this drug with other drugs has not yet been studied, so there is no interaction data.

There is also no data on a possible overdose of Conceptrol. However, when using any medication, you should strictly follow the recommendations and dosage specified in the instructions.

For repeated sexual intercourse, it is recommended to use new Conceptrol suppositories to ensure reliable contraception. It is also worth noting that early vaginal toileting, carried out less than 6 hours after intercourse, can lead to loss of the contraceptive effect, so it is not recommended to do it earlier than the specified period. It is possible to use Conceptrol in combination with a condom to increase the effectiveness of contraception.

Conceptrol is one of many medications used for contraception and is an important option for women who want to control their reproductive system. However, before using Conceptrol or any other contraceptive, you should consult your doctor and read the instructions to ensure safe and effective use of the drug.
