Vagisil Medicated Creme – 30g

Description

Vagisil Medicated Creme – 30g

Vagisil Medicated Creme is a topical cream designed to provide fast, effective relief from itching and irritation in the intimate (vaginal) area. It is suitable for women experiencing external vulval discomfort caused by minor irritation.

⸻

How It Works

Vagisil Medicated Creme contains lidocaine, a local anaesthetic that works by temporarily numbing the nerve endings beneath the skin. This helps to quickly calm itching and reduce the urge to scratch, providing soothing comfort to the affected area.

⸻

Directions for Use

Adults and women aged 16 and over: Apply a small amount of cream directly to the affected external area up to three or four times a day. Use for a maximum of seven days. Do not insert the cream inside the vagina. This product is not recommended for girls under 16 years of age without medical advice. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
