Boric Acid Suppositories
Rock Ridge Pharmacy offers custom-compounded Boric Acid Suppositories to support women experiencing vaginal discomfort, odor, and recurrent infections, providing a safe and effective solution.
Boric Acid Suppositories
Boric Acid Suppositories are a trusted, compounded option for women managing persistent vaginal infections, including bacterial vaginosis (BV) and yeast infections.
Boric acid helps restore the vagina’s natural pH balance, creating an environment less favorable for harmful bacteria and fungi. This makes it especially useful for women experiencing recurring infections that don’t respond to conventional treatments.
At Rock Ridge Pharmacy, each suppository is compounded in our USP <795> / <800> compliant lab, ensuring quality, safety, and precision dosing as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Targets Recurrent Infections
Often recommended when conventional treatments fail, boric acid reduces recurrence of bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections.
Provides Symptom Relief
By addressing imbalance and infection, boric acid suppositories help reduce odor, irritation, and discharge.
