Description
What Is Vagisil Medicated Creme?
Vagisil Medicated Creme 30g provides fast-acting relief from itching, irritation, and minor soreness around the vaginal area and back passage.
It contains lidocaine 2%, a local anaesthetic that soothes discomfort by numbing the affected area and reducing the urge to scratch.
Vagisil is suitable for adults and young people over 12 years old, helping ease symptoms of vaginal dryness, irritation, or mild thrush-related itching.

How Vagisil Medicated Creme Works
Vagisil Medicated Creme contains lidocaine, a local anaesthetic that blocks pain signals in the skin.
This helps to reduce itching and burning sensations, giving immediate comfort while you treat any underlying cause (such as thrush or irritation from soaps or tight clothing).
The formulation also includes zinc oxide to soothe the skin and glycerol to help maintain moisture balance.
