Chlorquinaldol is an antibiotic that has antiseptic properties on surfaces it comes in contact with.

Promestriene acts on the female vaginal mucosa to restore nutrition to the damaged mucosa, through regeneration of Glycogen-rich surface cells of the vaginal epithelium. Glycogen is a substrate for the stabilization of lactic acid bacteria, restoring the physiological pH of the vagina, thereby limiting the re-infection of pathogens.
