Secnidazole (trade names Flagentyl, Sindose, Solosec) is a nitroimidazole derivative used to in the treatment of amoebiasis and bacterial vaginosis. Secnidazole and other 5-nitroimidazole drugs enter micro-organisms by passive diffusion and undergo activation by reduction of the 5-nitro group. In anaerobic micro-organisms, such as Trichomonas, Giardia and Entamoeba spp., this intracellular reduction occurs via the pyruvate ferredoxin oxidoreductase complex and results in a concentration gradient across the cell membrane which, in tum, enhances transport of the parent drug into the cell. Because the electron affinity of the 5-nitroimidazoles is greater than that of reduced ferredoxin, the drug interrupts the normal electron flow. Aerobic micro-organisms have a more positive redox potential (i.e. are more efficient electron acceptors) than secnidazole and other 5-nitroimidazoles, which explains the selective toxicity of these drugs against anaerobic microorganisms. DNA is the intracellular target of the Secnidazole and other 5-nitroimidazoles. Secnidazole and other 5-nitroimidazoles possess selective activity against many anaerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and protozoa. In general, secnidazole and metronidazole were approximately equipotent in activity against Bacteroides fragilis, Trichomonas vaginalis, and Entamoeba histolytica, in in vitro studies. Secnidazole is rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administration. Plasma drug concentrations are linear over the therapeutic dose range of 0.5 to 2g. The tolerability profile of secnidazole does not differ markedly from other 5-nitroimidazoles. The most commonly reported adverse events in clinical trials involved the gastrointestinal tract (nausea, vomiting, glossitis, anorexia, epigastric pain and a metallic taste) and occurred in 2 to 10% of patients. A headache and dizziness were experienced by about 2% of patients. The drug was equally well tolerated in adults and children, and no adverse event required therapeutic intervention or treatment withdrawal.

Monolaurin, derived naturally from coconut, is a source of the medium chain fatty acid lauric acid. Monolaurin has been widely researched for its antiviral, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties, as it can break down and destroy the lipid layer of enveloped viruses where many pharmaceuticals fail. Fatty acids and monoglycerides produce their killing/inactivating effects by several mechanisms. An early postulated mechanism was the perturbing of the plasma membrane lipid bilayer. The antiviral action attributed to monolaurin is that of fluidizing the structure in the envelope of the virus, causing the disintegration of the microbial membrane. More recent studies, indicate that one antimicrobial effect in bacteria is related to monolaurin's interference with signal transduction/toxin formation. Another antimicrobial effect in viruses is due to lauric acid's interference with virus assembly and viral maturation. The third mode of action may be on the immune system itself. Monolaurin does not appear to have an adverse effect on desirable gut bacteria, but rather on only potentially pathogenic microorganisms. It is classified by the FDA as "generally regarded as safe" (GRAS).

Zinc lactate is used to eliminate halitosis. Halitosis (commonly
known as bad breath) is a condition affecting many people and one of the most usual reasons why people go look for a dentist’s advice. The main
origin of halitosis is related to the volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) produced by the different bacterial colonies found on the tongue and in the
gingival crevices. Zinc lactate is a very effective solution to neutralize the VSC and an excellent ingredient for mouthwashes and toothpastes.

8-Hydroxyquinoline is is a heterocyclic phenol, exhibiting antiseptic, disinfectant and pesticide properties. It is used to prevent and treat vaginal bacterial infections, but the efficacy was not proven in clinical trial. 8-Hydroxyquinoline is used in over-the-counter remedies for diaper rash and oral health care. Its use for veterinary treatment of bacterial an skin infections is not approved by FDA. 8-Hydroxyquinoline acts by inhibition of RNA synthesis and DNA replication by chelating the dissociable cations Mn2 and Mg2 .

Dequalinium is a quaternary ammonium cation commonly available as the dichloride salt. Dequalinium chloride has an antiseptic effect against a wide range of bacteria, yeasts, and some fungi and viruses. It kills the micro-organisms associated with various mild infections of the mouth and throat. Also, Dequalinium chloride is active against the bacteria which cause bacterial vaginosis. Dequalinium Chloride (DECA) is a PKC inhibitor and high-affinity blocker CNGA1 channel, and nearly as effective on heteromeric CNGA1+CNGB1 channels. Common side effects are: vaginal discharge; vaginal itching or vaginal burning; vaginal yeast infection (thrush); tender tongue.

Tetrydamine is a member of the indazol class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It is an analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug. Tetrydamine lavage reduced or eliminated all inflammation symptoms like burning, leucorrhea, etc. and resulted very well tolerated in vulvovaginitis, symptomatic bacterial vaginosis and cervicitis treatment.
