Canesten Canesbalance Bacterial Vaginosis Gel treats bacterial vaginosis (BV) and its symptoms.

How Canesten Canesbalance Bacterial Vaginosis Gel works

Canesten Canesbalance Bacterial Vaginosis Gel combines a prebiotic and a postbiotic.

The postbiotic lactic acid balances pH levels whilst the prebiotic glycogen restores natural vaginal flora.

This product also restricts the growth of harmful bacteria that can make symptoms linger for longer.

Twist off the end of the tab and then sit or lie in a comfortable position. Gently insert the neck of the applicator into the vagina as far as it will comfortably go.
