• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  Oftentimes, commercially available products not specifically designed for vaginal use are prescribed for patients for vaginal use. The vaginal mucosa is a sensitive and delicate area that requires specialized preparations. Inert ingredients, preservatives, bases used, and pH must all be taken into account with medications that are prescribed for this use in female patients. This program will guide participants through considerations for compounding for vaginal use.
