Balance Activ BV Pessaries

Balance Activ BV Pessaries are a trusted and clinically proven solution for the management of bacterial vaginosis (BV). BV is a common vaginal infection characterized by an imbalance in the vaginal flora, where harmful bacteria outnumber the beneficial ones. This can lead to symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge, odor, and discomfort.

Balance Activ BV Pessaries work by helping to restore the natural pH balance of the vagina, which in turn aids in relieving the symptoms of BV and preventing its recurrence. These pessaries are formulated to target the root cause of BV, providing effective relief and promoting vaginal health.

Wash Your Hands: Before handling the pessary, ensure your hands are clean to prevent any contamination.
Remove a Pessary: Each box of Balance Activ BV Pessaries contains a convenient applicator and multiple pessaries. Remove one pessary from its packaging.
Position Yourself: Find a comfortable and convenient place to lie down, such as your bed.
Insert the Pessary: Gently insert the pessary into the vagina using the applicator provided. It is advisable to do this just before bedtime to allow the pessary to work overnight.
Dispose of Applicator: After inserting the pessary, dispose of the applicator according to local waste disposal regulations.
Wash Your Hands Again: After use, wash your hands thoroughly.

Balance Activ BV Pessaries contain a unique combination of active ingredients that work together to restore the natural pH balance of the vagina and alleviate BV symptoms. The active ingredients include:
Lactic Acid: Lactic acid is a natural component of the vaginal environment. It helps maintain the acidic pH of the vagina, which is essential for keeping harmful bacteria in check.
Glycogen: Glycogen serves as a source of nutrients for beneficial lactobacilli bacteria in the vagina. By promoting the growth of these "friendly" bacteria, glycogen helps restore the natural vaginal flora.
Vitamin C: Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, plays a role in maintaining vaginal health and supporting the immune system.
These ingredients are carefully selected for their ability to promote a balanced and healthy vaginal environment.

Balance Activ BV Pessaries are generally well-tolerated, and side effects are rare. However, like any medication, some individuals may experience mild side effects. These may include:
Mild Vaginal Irritation: Some women may experience mild vaginal irritation or burning sensation shortly after using the pessary. This is usually temporary and subsides on its own.
Allergic Reaction: In rare cases, an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients may occur. If you experience signs of an allergic reaction such as itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.
It's important to note that these side effects are uncommon, and most women can use Balance Activ BV Pessaries without any adverse reactions. If you have concerns about potential side effects, consult with a healthcare provider before use.

Before using Balance Activ BV Pessaries, consider the following warnings and precautions:
Not for Use during Menstruation: It is generally recommended not to use pessaries during menstruation. Wait until your period has ended before using Balance Activ BV Pessaries.
Avoid Sexual Intercourse: Refrain from sexual intercourse while using the pessary, as it may interfere with its effectiveness. You should also avoid using tampons during treatment.
Consult with a Healthcare Provider: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult with a healthcare provider before using Balance Activ BV Pessaries. While they are generally safe for most women, it's essential to ensure they are appropriate for your specific situation.
