ABSTRACT:
Nonabsorbent products and douche compositions for cleansing and placement within the vagina contain an amount of a compound effective to inhibit the production of toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 and Enterotoxins A, B and C when the products are brought into contact with the bacteria. The products and compositions of this invention are also effective in combatting streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin and hemolysin production by Groups A, B, F and G streptococci. The compound is selected from the group consisting of monoesters of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol and a C.sub.8 -C.sub.18 fatty acid; diesters of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol and a C.sub.8 -C.sub.18 fatty acid; and mixtures thereof. The monoesters and diesters have at least one hydroxyl group associated with their aliphatic alcohol residue.
