Canesbalance Bacterial Vaginosis Vaginal Gel | 7 Applicators

Description

What is Canesbalance Bacterial Vaginosis Vaginal Gel?

Canesbalance Vaginal Gel is a clinically supported treatment for symptoms of bacterial vaginosis (BV). Its triple-benefit formulation combines prebiotics and postbiotics to regulate vaginal pH, discourage the growth of harmful bacteria and actively support natural, healthy vaginal flora. It begins working immediately to relieve the characteristic unpleasant odour and helps reduce abnormal grey-white or watery discharge commonly associated with BV.

How BV Typically Presents

Common signs of BV include:

• Fishy or unpleasant vaginal odour
• Watery or grey-white discharge
• Symptoms often worsen after sex or during a period

BV does not usually cause itching or soreness, and it is not a sexually transmitted infection.

Who is it Suitable For?

• Adults diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis.
• Those experiencing recurrent BV symptoms and seeking non-antibiotic support.
• If experiencing BV for the first time or pregnant, a doctor should be consulted before use.

Active and Inactive Ingredients

Each tube contains:

• Lactic Acid (postbiotic) – helps rebalance vaginal pH
• Glycogen (prebiotic) – supports growth of good vaginal bacteria

Other ingredients: Water, Propylene Glycol, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Sodium Lactate.

How to Use / Dosage Instructions

• Dose: One tube inserted vaginally once daily for 7 consecutive days.
• Administration:

This product uses single-use hygienic tubes, making application clean and convenient.
