What is Vagisan Moist Cream?

Vagisan Moist Cream is a non-hormonal moisturising cream designed to relieve vaginal dryness. It provides moisture and soothes the vaginal area, making it more comfortable for women experiencing dryness. The cream is easy to apply and can be used both internally and externally.

What is Vagisan Moist Cream used for?

Vagisan Moist Cream is primarily used to treat vaginal dryness. This condition can occur due to various reasons, including hormonal changes during menopause, breastfeeding, or as a side effect of certain medications. Vagisan Moist Cream helps to restore moisture and relieve discomfort associated with dryness.

In addition to treating vaginal dryness, Vagisan Moist Cream may also be used to alleviate discomfort caused by vaginal atrophy and irritation.

How does Vagisan Moist Cream work?

Vagisan Moist Cream works by providing moisture to the vaginal tissues. The active ingredients, lactic acid and sodium lactate, help to maintain the natural pH balance of the vagina. This balance is crucial for the health of the vaginal tissues and helps to prevent infections. The cream forms a protective barrier on the vaginal walls, which helps to retain moisture and soothe irritation.

Who is Vagisan Moist Cream suitable for?

Vagisan Moist Cream is suitable for women experiencing vaginal dryness. This includes women going through menopause, breastfeeding mothers, and those who experience dryness due to medication or other health conditions. The cream is non-hormonal, making it a suitable option for women who cannot or prefer not to use hormone-based treatments.

However, Vagisan Moist Cream may not be suitable for women who are allergic to any of its ingredients. If you have a history of vaginal infections or other vaginal health issues, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.

How to apply Vagisan Moist Cream

  • Wash your hands thoroughly before applying the cream.
  • Remove the cap from the tube.

  • Insert the applicator into the vagina and press the plunger to release the cream.
  • Remove the applicator and wash it thoroughly with warm water and mild soap.
