Description
Balance Activ BV Pessaries are designed to effectively treat and relieve the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis (BV), including abnormal discharge, unpleasant odour, and discomfort. Each pessary contains lactic acid, which helps to restore the natural vaginal pH balance, promoting a healthy environment and preventing the growth of harmful bacteria. The addition of glycogen provides nourishment to the beneficial lactobacilli, encouraging their growth and helping to maintain a balanced vaginal flora. These pessaries are easy to use and provide fast, effective relief from BV symptoms. Suitable for women experiencing recurrent BV, they can be used as a treatment or as a preventative measure.

Can I use Balance Activ BV Pessaries during my period?
