Understanding Boric Acid 600 mg Vaginal Suppositories: What You Need to Know

Do not use boric acid orally, as it can damage the lining of the stomach and intestines. It can also be dangerous to the developing fetus, so pregnant women should not use it. It may not work for you if you have a bleeding disorder or have HIV/AIDS, and it should be avoided by people who are taking certain medications that can make it harder for blood to clot, such as warfarin (Coumadin).

Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and direct light. The suppositories come in foil pouches with single-use applicators.

Insert a suppository daily and keep it in a cool, dry place for at least 7 days. Stop using it if you experience any side effects or if you haven’t seen improvement after a few days.

The CDC recommends boric acid as a second-line therapy for recurrent BV infections that don’t respond to antifungal medication. It is most effective when used in combination with antibiotics. But it’s important to discuss the risk of recurrent yeast infections with your healthcare provider before you start taking this medication.
