Most common adverse reactions were vaginal burning sensation, vaginal itching or discomfort, BV, vaginal discharge, UTI, or  vulvovaginal pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phexxi can be used with most forms of contraception, but not indicated for women using the vaginal contraceptive ring.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no evidence that this should worsen or be contraindicated in women with HPV or STDs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make an appointment to determine if this medication is right for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This product will be available in the US in September 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women&#8217;s Heath Practice was proud to participate in the Ampower study that helped bring Phexxi to market.
