Good morning
I have a question about lakcid intima. Can it be used prophylactically for a longer period of time in postmenopausal vaginal dryness and recurrent UTIs?
I read in the leaflet that the recommended dosage
Preventive measures:
1 capsule per day (before bedtime) for 4-6 days, vaginally. In menstruating women - after menstruation.
And what happens after using the drug for 4-6 days?
Should I take a break and how long and use the drug again for 4-6 days?

The manufacturer recommends this way of dosing the drug when it is used without consulting a doctor. On the other hand, the doctor, based on the patient's symptoms and condition, can extend the treatment period – so that it is safe and at the same time as effective as possible.
According to the general recommendations of gynaecologists, vaginal preparations with Lactobacillus gasseri DSM 14869 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus DSM 14870 should be used, for example, for 7-10 days a month (continuously) or, if necessary (e.g. in women with recurrent genital tract infections) – for 2-3 months consecutively.
In your case, it seems reasonable to carry out a longer therapy of 2-3 months, and then use the product for 7-10 days a week to maintain the effect.
You should be aware that too long use of vaginal probiotics may be counterproductive.
Lactobacilli may be overdominant, resulting in a lower pH below normal, which may give infection-like symptoms such as itching, burning, pain during intercourse, thick, white vaginal discharge. Therefore, the therapy should be rational and preferably agreed with a doctor, for your specific case.
