Clinical Overview

Lactic Acid 1.2% w/v Intimate Hygiene Wash is a dermatologically tested, soap-free topical wash enriched with natural lactic acid, tea tree oil, and sea buckthorn oil. It is scientifically formulated to preserve and maintain the optimal physiological acidic microenvironment (pH 3.5 to 4.5) of the female external vulvar area, supporting beneficial Lactobacillus flora and preventing the overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria and fungi responsible for bacterial vaginosis and candidiasis. Indicated for daily feminine external hygiene, during menstruation, post-partum recovery, and post-intimacy cleansing.

Usage Guidelines

For EXTERNAL VULVAR USE ONLY: Pour a few drops onto damp hands, gently work into a mild lather, and apply externally to the vulvar and perineal area from front to back. Rinse thoroughly with clean warm water and pat dry with a soft clean towel. Use once or twice daily during bathing or menstrual hygiene. Do NOT douche or insert internally into the vaginal canal.

General Administration Advice: Adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage, frequency, and treatment course. For oral medications, swallow with sufficient water. Never stop antibiotics, psychiatric medications, or antihypertensives abruptly without clinical direction.

Possible Side Effects

Common: Well tolerated; rare mild transient local burning or stinging if applied to broken, excoriated, or severely inflamed skin. Rare/Severe: Contact dermatitis, vulvar allergic rash, and persistent pruritus.

*Note: Individual physiological responses vary. While many patients experience few or no side effects, notify your treating physician if adverse reactions persist or if hypersensitivity (angioedema, skin rash, dyspnea) occurs.

Precautions & Warnings

Strictly for external vaginal/vulvar use only; avoid contact with eyes and internal vaginal mucosa. Discontinue if persistent irritation, rash, or burning occurs. Not a treatment for active sexually transmitted infections or pelvic inflammatory disease; consult a gynecologist if foul-smelling discharge, severe itching, or pelvic pain develops.
