Sisla Boric Acid

Boric acid for vaginal use is typically in a powder form that is then made into solid capsules or suppositories, not used as a powder directly. These suppositories are inserted into the vagina to treat vaginal yeast infections (candidiasis), bacterial vaginosis (BV), and recurrent vaginal issues by helping to balance vaginal pH and create an acidic environment that inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi. 

What it is:

• Boric acid is a chemical compound containing boron, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.

• When used for vaginal health, it is processed into an intravaginal suppository rather than being used as an unshelled powder. 

How it works:

• Antifungal and Antiseptic Properties:Boric acid has antifungal and antiseptic qualities that effectively combat some bacteria and fungi, including yeast, that cause vaginal infections. 

• Vaginal pH Balance:By promoting an acidic vaginal environment, it helps stabilize the natural pH balance, which is crucial for maintaining vaginal health and preventing odor. 

Common uses:

• Yeast Infections:It is effective against common yeast infections and can also treat more challenging, recurrent, or atypical yeast species like Candida glabrata. 

• Bacterial Vaginosis (BV):Boric acid suppositories may also be used to treat bacterial vaginosis. 

• Intimate Health and Odor Control:The use of boric acid suppositories can also help normalize vaginal odor by restoring the proper pH balance.
