Betadine Vaginal Pessaries 10's

Betadine Vaginal Pessaries helps reduce harmful microorganisms in the vaginal area and supports vaginal hygiene. Your doctor may recommend it for the following conditions:

• Vaginal infections (vaginitis): May help reduce microorganisms associated with some vaginal infections, including bacteria and yeast. Evidence for its effectiveness in treating trichomonal vaginitis is limited, so a doctor should confirm whether Betadine Vaginal Pessaries is appropriate for this type of infection.
• Surgical preparation: Cleanse the vaginal area before gynaecological surgeries or procedures to minimise the risk of infection.

Betadine Vaginal Pessaries helps relieve the discomfort associated with vaginal infections and supports vaginal hygiene by reducing harmful microorganisms. Key benefits include:

• Relieves uncomfortable symptoms: Helps reduce itching, burning, irritation, and abnormal vaginal discharge, making you feel more comfortable.
• Broad antiseptic action: Acts against a wide range of microorganisms, including many bacteria, fungi, and some viruses.
• Targets the affected area directly: Works at the site of application to help reduce the number of harmful microorganisms.
• Supports infection management: May be used as an alternative or alongside other treatments when recommended by your doctor, depending on the cause of the infection.

• Follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and duration for effective results.
• Lie relaxed on your back and bend your legs by lifting your knees. Gently insert the pessary into the vagina using the index finger. Bring your legs together, stay lying on one side, for at least 5 minutes to prevent the pessary from falling out.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after use.
• In case the pessary appears to have softened while in the pack, then keep it in a vertical position with the pointed end facing down in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before using it.
• The pessary should be moistened with water before inserting.
• Not to be taken by mouth. For vaginal administration only.

• Wear breathable underwear: Choose loose-fitting cotton underwear to reduce moisture build-up and help discourage the growth of harmful microorganisms.
• Avoid scented feminine products: Do not use scented soaps, bubble baths, vaginal sprays, or douches, as they can irritate the delicate vaginal tissues and disrupt the natural balance.
• Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment: Refrain from sexual activity until your treatment is complete or your doctor advises it is safe, allowing the affected tissues to heal.
• Eat a balanced diet: Include probiotic-rich foods, such as yoghurt, as part of a healthy diet to help support the natural balance of vaginal flora.

• Wear a sanitary pad: Use a sanitary pad or panty liner during treatment, as the medicine may cause a brownish discharge that can stain clothing.
• Do not use tampons: Avoid using tampons while using this medicine, as they may absorb the active ingredient and reduce its effectiveness.
• Check the product before use: Do not use the medicine if the seal is broken or if the product appears unusually discoloured.
• Complete the full course: Finish the entire course of treatment as suggested by your doctor, even if your menstrual period begins during treatment, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
