Summary:A vaginal suppository or other type of vaginal passary such as cream, foam o r ointment, which contains as its active ingredients at least one pharmaceutically acceptable, topically safe antimicrobial agent , such as an agent selected from the group of benzalkoni um chloride, cetylpyridinium chloride, chlorhexidine gluconate and povidone iod ine, imidiazolidinyl urea and diazolidinyl urea and a vi able colony of micro-encapsulated lactobacilli bacteria.
