pHyph is a vaginal tablet that has been developed to treat BV and prevent a recurrence.

It restores the vaginal pH to its natural level, removes the infectious bacterial build-up of biofilm formed during BV, restricts the infectious bacteria growth and restores the healthy vaginal microbiome.

Together, these mechanisms of action provide a beneficial environment for a healthy vaginal microbiome.

In a clinical trial, 90% of patients treated with pHyph had symptom reduction and 70% of them had an absence of symptoms by day seven.

The vaginal tablet demonstrated excellent medical effect, with 50.4% of the patients clinically cured of BV by day seven.
