Ingredients in Lactinex-What Do You Think?

[Guest guest]

I special-ordered the Lactinex tablets my gynecologist specifically

recommended that I take because I have zero lactobacillus

colonization. I'm supposed to insert them vaginally. I just looked

at the ingredient label, and they contain (in order): " Whey,

lactose, sucrose, evaporated milk, talc, white mineral oil, viable

Lactobacillus acidophilus and L bulraricus and beef extract. "

Aside from the lactobacillus, none of these sound like anything

you'd want to put in that area. I'm allergic to milk, it seems to me

that lactose and sucrose would encourage yeast growth and talc has

been linked to ovarian cancer. I don't even want to think about the

beef extract.

Should I toss these things, or maybe just take them orally?

I wouldn't take them orally because they contain mineral oil which is a

laxative.

I don't think I'd take them in the vagina! Here is what I plan on trying.
