Abstract
A method and solution or gel topical preparation containing chlorine dioxide and a phosphate compound, such as disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, trisodium phosphate, and sodium monofluorophosphate, is disclosed for treating itching of the vagina. The preferred concentration ranges are between about 0.005% to about 2.0% chlorine dioxide, and between about 0.02% to about 3.0% phosphate compound. The phosphate compound retards escape of chlorine dioxide in the pH range of about 6.0 to 7.4, at which pH chlorine dioxide becomes activated and releases sufficient chlorine dioxide to reduce motility and become lethal to the involved micro-organisms.
