Frequently Asked Questions About Phexxi
What is Phexxi and how does it work?
Phexxi is a hormone-free, non-invasive birth control contraceptive that works by maintaining the vagina’s natural acidity, which makes it harder for sperm to survive. It is a vaginal gel that is used on-demand, right before intercourse, giving you control over your contraception. The gel creates an inhospitable environment for sperm by regulating vaginal pH levels, preventing fertilization naturally.
What ingredients are in Phexxi?
Phexxi contains only natural, hormone-free ingredients such as lactic acid, citric acid, and potassium bitartrate, along with glycerin, alginic acid, xanthan gum, sodium hydroxide, benzoic acid, and purified water. These ingredients help maintain the optimal pH balance in the vagina to prevent pregnancy without the need for synthetic hormones.
How do I use Phexxi?
Phexxi is easy to use! Simply apply one pre-filled applicator of the gel into the vagina up to one hour before intercourse. It can be used on-demand, meaning you don’t have to take it every day. Each dose is effective for one act of intercourse, and you can use another dose if engaging in intercourse again.
Is Phexxi safe for long-term use?
Yes, Phexxi is a safe, FDA-approved contraceptive option for long-term use. Since it is hormone-free, it doesn’t carry the risks associated with hormonal contraceptives like blood clots, mood changes, or weight gain. Many women choose Phexxi as a natural alternative for managing their birth control without added hormones.
What are the side effects of Phexxi?
Common side effects may include mild vaginal itching, burning, or discomfort, which usually goes away quickly. These side effects occur because Phexxi works by regulating pH levels in the vagina. Most women find Phexxi to be well-tolerated.
Can Phexxi protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs)?
No, Phexxi does not protect against sexually transmitted infections. It is recommended to use condoms along with Phexxi if you are concerned about STI prevention. Phexxi is strictly a birth control contraceptive designed to prevent pregnancy, so for comprehensive protection, combining it with barrier methods like condoms is the best approach.
