Balance Activ BV Treatment Pessaries 7s

Balance Activ BV Treatment Pessaries 7s uses lactic acid to restore the vagina’s natural pH and vaginal flora and to relieve symptoms of BV. It also contains glycogen, which provides nutrients to encourage the growth of lactobacilli, a protective bacteria that helps to maintain a healthy balance inside the vagina. Our BV treatments are available in a gel and pessary format. Both are equally as effective and are easy to use formats. The gel and pessary are sold in packs of 7 one-a-day doses - a week's treatment.

Balance Activ has been shown to be as effective as antibiotics in relieving symptoms of BV. It contains lactic acid and glycogen, working with your body to promote the growth of good bacteria and restore the natural vaginal pH balance.

2. Sit or lie down with knees bent and legs apart. Gently insert the pessary into the vagina as far as is comfortably possible using your fingers.
3. Wash hands again. Remember, the pessary should not be divided as it is intended for single use.
