[Local administration of low-dose estriol and vital Lactobacillus acidophilus in postmenopause].

A randomized double-blind trial with 15 postmenopausal women led to a remarkable result. Local treatment with vaginal tablets just containing 0.03 mg estriol proved to be equivalent to the widely used dosage of 0.5 mg. The test drug Gynoflor E induced significant proliferation of the vaginal epithelium and thus offers the basis for a complete restoration of the vaginal environment. Simultaneously given Lactobacillus acidophilus can be implanted successfully and thus an acid vaginal milieu can be restored.
