Safety and Efficacy

Safety : Acute oral LD50 toxicity study of test drug WH-1 conducted on rats showed no treatment related toxic signs and symptoms. The study was conducted as per OECD guidelines. The raw materials and finished product have been tested for heavy metals and microbial contents. In a study conducted in St. John's Medical College and Hospital Bangalore on 41 female patients, assessment of safety of the drug was done through biochemical parameters. Random Blood Sugar, Kidney Function Test and Liver Function Tests were conducted prior to and after treatment. There was no biological evidence of side effects with WH-1 treatment.

Efficacy : The second clinical trial was conducted in St. John's Medical College and Hospital, Bangalore. (Click here for full text.) This was a study to compare the safety and efficacy of WH-1 capsule with standard drugs of FAS-3 Kit and Fluconazole. The following are the observations of the authors:

  • The important efficacy parameters such as microbiological as well as clinical examination showed that WH-1 is equipotent to standard therapy. It is reported that the combination of antibacterial, antifungal and antiprotozoal agents in the modern therapy alter the normal vaginal flora leading to super infection and /or Increased chances of Recurrent infection. Interestingly, the present test preparation WH-1 showed absence of such associated complications.
  • To conclude, our study confirms the observations of the previous preliminary study reports. WH-1 was found to be equally efficacious as standard drugs of FAS-3 Kit and Fluconazole in mixed infection, nonspecific vaginitis as well as vaginal candidiasis. Adverse effects were higher in standard treatment group. Certain positive findings of the present study with WH-1 were its global utility in the treatment of Vaginitis/Vaginosis caused by multiple pathogens, minor incidence of adverse drug reactions, increment in lactobacilli count, and 100% compliance despite longer duration of treatment. There was no biochemical evidence of side effects with WH-1 regimen. WH-1 can therefore be considered to be an effective and safe option for treatment of vaginitis/Vaginosis.

The available treatment options include systemic and tropical antifungal and antibacterial agents. These medications decrease the infection temporarily but often disrupt the normal vaginal flora leading to recurrent infection and super infection by another microbe

Acute toxicity studies of WH-1 in lab animals as per OECD guidelines showed no treatment related toxicity. The product is free from heavy metals. The safety of WH-1 in human subjects has been proved by clinical studies with biochemical parameters where Kidney Function Test and Liver Function Tests were done

  WH-1 is equipotent to standard modern therapy minus all adverse effects. This single drug is useful in multiple causes of vaginitis. It does not cause side effects. In fact WH-1 causes side benefits. It increases growth of normal vaginal flora and good bacteria. (Lactobacillus)

A systematic review of CAM therapies revealed that women especially with chronic vaginal symptoms rejected antimicrobial therapies in favour of alternative remedies (96%) and these are usually educated and conscious women *

  Drawbacks of modern treatment
 

The antifungal and antibacterial agents decrease the infection temporarily but often disrupt the normal vaginal flora leading to recurrent infection

Since the normal vaginal flora is altered there are chances of super infection

In a study done at St. John's Medical College many adverse reactions were noticed.
