Record 2 2004-01-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pharmacy
  • Pregnancy
DEF

Vaginal suppositories are spermicides which should be placed as high up in the vagina as possible preferably about 15 minutes before intercourse: they melt, with body-heat, to a liquid.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pharmacie
  • Grossesse
DEF

Les suppositoires vaginaux sont une variante des pastilles contraceptives.

OBS

Au lieu de produire de la mousse par dégagement de dioxyde de carbone comme dans les tablettes, ils fondent en gelée, car ils sont fabriqués à base de gélatine. Ils se comportent alors comme les crèmes et gelées anti-spermes.
