Cơ Chế Tác Dụng :
Polyacrylic acid is developed by ReProtect. It is a gel that may help both block the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and reduce unwanted pregnancies. The compound, known as BufferGel, is currently in advanced clinical trials for its ability to prevent pregnancy.
BufferGel is a microbicidal spermicide that provides sufficient buffering activity to maintain the mild, protective acidity of the vagina in the presence of semen. Sperm are acid-sensitive, so to assure fertility, semen provides a powerful alkalinizing action that abolishes the protective acidity of the vagina for several hours after intercourse. This alkalinizing action of semen also enables acid-sensitive sexually transmitted diseases (STD) pathogens to transmit infection. By blocking this action of semen, BufferGel prevents unwanted pregnancy, and shows promise for prevention of STDs, including HIV/AIDS.
Chỉ Định :
Investigated for use/treatment in contraception and HIV prevention.
