Vaginal Tablets and Suppositories
Vaginal Tablets and Suppositories
Vaginal tablets and vaginal suppositories can provide fast, targeted relief from localized conditions affecting the vaginal tissue. These solid-form medications are inserted into the vagina, where they melt as they reach body temperature and are designed to absorb into the tissues and bloodstream. Vaginal tablets and suppositories can address vaginal infections or relieve vaginal irritation and dryness due to menopause. Vaginal suppositories and tablets can deliver other medications, such as diazepam to relax pelvic muscle spasms often present in conditions like vaginismus.
Vaginal tablet and suppository advantages:
- Avoid first-pass metabolism
- Localized absorption
- Avoid nausea and vomiting that can be caused by gastric irritation
- Requires a lower dose to reach the site of action, reducing potential systemic side effects
Our vaginal tablets are pH balanced. Maintaining the normal pH balance of the vagina is important to vaginal health since its normal acidity helps fight off infections.
