The Team at Women’s Health Practice was proud to be part of the clinical research that lead to the newest agent in contraception. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phexxi is available by prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a vaginal contraceptive that has to be inserted no more than one hour prior to each act of intercourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gel is tolerated very well, it is made of lactic acid, citric acid and potassium bitartrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most common side effects are vaginal or vulvar burning, vaginal or vulvar itching, yeast infection, UTI, BV, genital discomfort, vaginal discharge, or vulvar or vaginal pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has not been approved to protect against HIV or STIs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some women can expect more normal vaginal pH which could be a benefit if they normally have difficulty with chronic vaginal infections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
