What is Balance Activ gel used for?

Balance Activ Gel treats common vaginal problems that can affect your day-to-day life. It’s particularly effective for:

The gel works by restoring your vagina’s natural pH balance, which helps to eliminate embarrassing symptoms and prevent them from coming back. It neutralises embarrassing odour and provides effective relief, giving you the confidence and peace of mind to get on with your daily routine without worry.

How does Balance Activ treatment gel work?

Balance Activ Gel is a clinically proven treatment that works naturally to restore your vaginal health by mimicking your body’s own defence system. It helps to:

  • Restores pH balance – The gel contains lactic acid, which helps restore your vagina’s pH to its normal range (around 3.8-4.5). When your pH is too high, harmful bacteria can multiply leading to BV symptoms. By lowering the pH, the gel creates an environment where good bacteria can thrive again, effectively relieving BV.
  • Replenishes natural lactic acid – Your vagina naturally produces lactic acid to maintain a healthy vaginal balance. When this is disrupted, symptoms like odour and discharge can appear. Balance Activ tops up your lactic acid levels to restore this natural protection.
  • Encourages good bacteria – The gel contains glycogen, which feeds the beneficial bacteria (lactobacilli) that naturally live in your vagina. These good bacteria help maintain a healthy pH and keep harmful bacteria under control, preventing symptoms from returning.

This drug-free formula provides fast relief – most women notice improvement within just one hour of the first application.

Who can use Balance Activ gel?

Balance Activ Gel is suitable for adults and children aged 16 and over who are experiencing symptoms of bacterial vaginosis or vaginal discomfort. It’s safe to use during pregnancy, making it a gentle option when you need symptom relief.

Do not use Balance Activ Gel if you:

  • are trying to conceive (the low pH can make the environment less suitable for sperm)
  • are allergic to any of the ingredients
  • notice the tube is damaged or past its expiry date

If you think you have a vaginal infection during pregnancy, speak to your doctor before using this product. Balance Activ Gel is not a contraceptive and should not be used as birth control.

How to Use Balance Activ BV Treatment

To treat BV and relieve symptoms:

  • Use 1 tube daily for 7 days
  • Apply the gel at bedtime so it can work while you sleep
  • Insert the tube gently into your vagina and squeeze to release the gel
  • You may wish to wear a panty liner to protect your underwear

To prevent symptoms from returning:

  • Use 1-2 tubes per week to maintain a healthy pH balance
  • If symptoms tend to recur at the end of your menstrual cycle, use one tube daily for 1-2 days after your period ends

During antibiotic treatment:

  • Use one tube daily for 4-5 days at the end of your antibiotic course to maintain natural pH levels

Each tube is single-use only for hygienic application. Do not reuse tubes.

Side Effects of Balance Activ Gel

There are no known side effects associated with Balance Activ Gel. The formula is designed to work naturally with your body’s processes, making it a gentle, well-tolerated treatment option.

If you experience any unusual reactions or are concerned about any effects while using the gel, stop using it and speak to your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Balance Activ Bacterial Vaginosis Gel FAQs


Balance Activ Gel is suitable for adults and children aged 16 and over. At Click2Pharmacy, we can only sell this product to adults aged 18 or older.

Balance Activ Gel works quickly to relieve symptoms. Most women notice improvement within just one hour of the first application. For full treatment of bacterial vaginosis, use the gel for 7 consecutive days as directed.

Balance Activ Gel can be used to maintain a healthy vaginal pH balance and prevent symptoms from returning. After completing the initial 7-day treatment course, you can use 1-2 tubes per week for ongoing maintenance. If you notice a recurrence of symptoms or suspect your vaginal balance isn’t quite right, you can use the gel to help restore normal pH and vaginal flora. If symptoms tend to recur at the end of your menstrual cycle, use one tube daily for 1-2 days after your period finishes.

Balance Activ Gel is safe to use while breastfeeding. The gel works locally in the vaginal area and is not absorbed into your bloodstream, so it won’t affect your milk or your baby.

To treat bacterial vaginosis and relieve symptoms, use 1 tube daily for 7 consecutive days. Each pack contains 7 single-use tubes, which is one complete treatment course. For maintenance and preventing recurrence, use 1-2 tubes per week as needed.

Balance Activ Gel is safe to use beyond the initial 7-day treatment course. After completing your treatment, you can continue to use it for maintenance by applying 1-2 tubes per week to help maintain a healthy pH balance and prevent symptoms from returning. The natural formula works with your body’s own processes, making it suitable for ongoing use.

The best time to use Balance Activ is before bedtime. Applying it at night allows the gel to work while you sleep, giving it time to restore your vaginal pH balance without disruption. This also minimises potential leakage during daily activities.
