How Does it Work

Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.5% Vaginal Gel (CGVG) is an efficacious treatment for bacterial vaginosis (BV). CGVG works by killing bacteria in the vagina that leads to BV. CGVG has been shown to reduce bacterial levels in the vagina, normalize vaginal pH levels, and reduce symptoms of BV such as abnormal discharge and odor. CGVG has been found to be an effective treatment because it kills the bacteria responsible for BV while having minimal effect on the normal flora of the vagina. CGVG also has a sustained action on the microbiome, with a decrease in BV bacterial load even after the CGVG has been discontinued. This sustained action on the microbiome is thought to reduce the recurrence of BV once treatment has ended. Further, CGVG has minimal systemic absorption, meaning it is less likely to carry adverse side effects than other treatments for BV. CGVG is generally well tolerated and has few noted side effects. Overall, CGVG is an effective treatment for BV, as it has a high effectiveness rate and a favorable safety profile.

Other Uses

Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.5% Vaginal Gel can be used as a preservative for cosmetics and foot care products such as mouthwashes, deodorants, lotions, body wash and shampoos. It can also be used as an antiseptic for pre-operative skin preparation in dialysis and catheter insertion procedures, as well as for treating skin diseases such as dermatitis, eczema and intertrigo. Additionally, it can be used for the treatment of burns, cuts and minor wounds.
