Boric acid suppositories are inserted vaginally, typically once daily. They are non-oral and dissolve internally to deliver localized support directly where it’s needed.
Boric acid works by gently acidifying the vaginal environment, helping maintain a balanced pH and limiting the growth of unwanted organisms that thrive in higher pH conditions.

No. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is not caused by poor hygiene. In fact, overcleansing, douching, or using scented products can disrupt the vagina’s natural balance and increase the risk of BV. BV can happen to anyone and is very common.
