Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Boric Acid 30% Vaginal is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a range of gynecological conditions. This gel-like semisolid formulation is dispensed in a tube for easy and controlled application in the vaginal area. It is primarily used to treat yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and trichomoniasis, but it can also be used to alleviate symptoms such as vulvovaginal itching, burning, and irritation.

The medication works by creating an acidic environment in the vagina, which inhibits the growth of certain bacteria and fungi. This helps to restore the natural balance of the vaginal flora, reducing inflammation and irritation. Boric Acid 30% Vaginal is generally well tolerated, with few reported side effects.

When using Boric Acid 30% Vaginal, it is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. The medication should be used as directed, and the recommended dosage should not be exceeded. It is also important to avoid contact with the eyes and other mucous membranes to prevent irritation.

If you have any questions about Boric Acid 30% Vaginal or any other compounded medication, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to provide you with the information and support you need to make informed decisions about your health.

Furthermore, Boric Acid 30% Vaginal may interact with other medications. This includes, but is not limited to, antibiotics, antifungals, and hormonal contraceptives.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Boric Acid 30% Vaginal is a specially formulated topical medication designed to treat a variety of gynecological conditions, including vaginal yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and trichomoniasis. This gel-like semisolid formulation is dispensed in a tube for easy and controlled application in the vaginal area. It works by eliminating the organisms responsible for these infections.

Boric acid, the active ingredient, is a mild antiseptic and astringent. It aids in reducing inflammation and irritation, while also helping to restore the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina.

When using Boric Acid 30% Vaginal, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. The medication should be applied directly to the affected area using a cotton swab or applicator. Care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Additionally, the use of tampons or douches should be avoided while undergoing this treatment.

The duration of treatment varies depending on the condition being treated. For yeast infections, Boric Acid 30% Vaginal should be used for 7 days. For bacterial vaginosis, a 5-day treatment course is recommended. For trichomoniasis, a 10-day treatment course is advised. It is important to complete the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the infection is fully cleared.

If you have any questions or concerns about using Boric Acid 30% Vaginal, please consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist to ensure safe and appropriate use of this medication.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
