The board further warned that using health products not necessarily meant for vaginal use could disrupt the vagina’s natural protective environment and increase the risk of infections.
The Ministry of Health, through the Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB), has warned the public about circulating claims on social media that cetirizine can be used to achieve vaginal tightening.
In a statement issued on November 4, the board pointed out that cetirizine is intended to relieve allergy symptoms, including allergic rhinitis and urticaria, with no established scientific evidence supporting its use for vaginal tightening purpose.
