Noticed an unusual odour or discharge? It could be Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)

BV is one of the most common vaginal conditions in women — caused by an imbalance in the natural bacteria in the vagina. Symptoms can include a fishy odour, abnormal greyish-white discharge, and vaginal discomfort. It can feel embarrassing, but it's very common and very treatable.

Fleurstat BV Gel — Clinically Proven, Antibiotic-Free Relief

Fleurstat BVgel is a non-antibiotic BV treatment that works differently from traditional antibiotics. Instead of killing bacteria, it works by physically blocking BV-causing bacteria from attaching to the vaginal lining — helping to restore your natural vaginal balance without the side effects of antibiotics.

Available over the counter — no prescription needed.

What Fleurstat Can Help With

• ✅ Treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV)
• ✅ Relief from unpleasant vaginal odour
• ✅ Relief from abnormal vaginal discharge
• ✅ Normalises vaginal pH
• ✅ Prevention of recurrent BV (when used between episodes)
• ✅ Suitable for women who prefer to avoid antibiotics

Why Choose a Non-Antibiotic Treatment?

Antibiotics are effective but can cause side effects like thrush, and BV frequently comes back after antibiotic treatment. Fleurstat offers a gentle, clinically proven alternative that doesn't disrupt your natural vaginal flora — making it ideal for women who experience recurrent BV or want to avoid antibiotic side effects.

How to Use

• Apply one full applicator (approx. 5g) into the vagina
• Use once daily, preferably at bedtime
• Continue for 7 days, even if symptoms improve earlier
• Can also be used to help prevent recurrent BV between episodes
