What is Vagisil Medicated Creme used for?
Vagisil Medicated Creme offers effective cooling relief from intimate feminine itching that may be caused by one or more of the following factors:
- Thrush
- Sweating

Vagisil will not cure the cause of the itching or irritation so it is therefore advisable that you speak to a pharmacist or doctor before using this product to ensure you are receiving the right treatment for you.
How does Vagisil Medicated Creme?
Lidocaine 2% is the active ingredient used in Vagisil Medicated Creme and is a commonly used local anaesthetic. It effectively relieves itching and discomfort on the areas of skin in which it is applied, by blocking nerve signals reaching the brain, temporarily numbing the skin. It works incredibly quickly calming, soothing and calming the skin so you can get on with your day.
