Comparing Vaginal Creams Against Suppositories

(Newswire.net — September 13, 2018) Cheyenne, Wyoming — It all matters, from diet and hydration, to tight underwear or a new sexual partner, anything can cause vaginal infections. Feminine hygiene is a fragile balance of pH levels and cultivation of “good” bacteria naturally found in the vagina. Whenever things get out of whack, being armed with the best treatment for such a sensitive area is crucial hence the debate between using a suppository or a cream. Obviously a cream is less invasive but a tablet suppository is sure to offer quicker and better relief. 

“Vaginal suppositories are solid medications that are inserted into the vagina with a special applicator,” explains Healthline. “This is because suppositories melt inside the body and absorb directly into the bloodstream.” 

Many mainstream suppositories for the most part coat the active ingredient with substances such as gelatin or cocoa butter to control how soon after insertion the treatment is released, then the warmth of the vagina gradually melts the medicine, allowing it to effectively fight infections for extended periods of time. 

On the other hand, the application of a cream is a one-time deal plus its weak viscosity causes it to leak out of the vagina throughout the day creating more of a mess than any considerable medicinal benefits.

“In one study of 92 women with chronic yeast vaginitis that had failed to respond to treatment with over-the-counter or prescription antifungal medicines, 98% of the women successfully treated their infections with 600 mg boric acid capsules inserted into the vagina twice per day for two-to-four weeks,” says College Pharmacy. “Other studies have shown cure rates of 92% to 100%.” 

Using this scientific information, HealthyWiser uses boric acid in its Femme-Fresh™ vaginal suppository in order to guarantee fast relief, pH balance and safe medically approved results. Most creams depend on clotrimazole, miconazole and/or tioconazole as the main active ingredients however they have been proven to be ineffective half of the time against Candida glabrata, a stronger strain of yeast than the more common Candia albicans (thrush). 

So while inserting a pill in one’s vagina is not the most exciting method of treatment, think of it as if it were a tampon. The duty performed by the Femme-Fresh™ vaginal suppository is sure to get rid of unpleasant odors, control bacterial and yeast overgrowth plus ease itches in a much shorter time than any cream could.
