Will it help with thrush?
Hexicon belongs to the group of antiseptic drugs for topical application. It is produced in the form of a solution and vaginal suppositories. The active substance of the drug is chlorhexidine bigluconate, which shows activity against various gram-positive and gram-negative bacterium-causative agents of venereal diseases. Chlorhexidine bigluconate has no effect on the spores of bacteria and fungi, hence, the suppository hexicon does not make sense from thrush. Moreover, by destroying the bacteria that make up the microflora of the vagina, the hexicon can contribute to an even greater multiplication of Candida fungi, which, as is known, are the cause of thrush. Thus, instead of the desired relief, taking a hexicon against the thrush will cause it to become worse.

Starting treatment with suppositories of the hexicon during menstruation is not the best option. First, spotting will not give the candle completely dissolved, and secondly, changes in acidity in the vagina will reduce the effectiveness of the drug.
