First seen Mar 26, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at whether lactoferrin, a natural prebiotic from cow's milk, can be a good alternative to antibiotic tablets for women with bacterial vaginosis or thrush. About 114 women will either use lactoferrin vaginal pessaries for 3 weeks or take standard antibiotic/antifungal pills. Researchers will check if the infection clears, if it comes back, and if women prefer the natural option. The goal is to see if a larger trial is possible to confirm lactoferrin as a safe, effective, and cost-saving treatment.
