vaginal pessaries
Explanation:
Pessaries are solid, bullet-shaped preparations designed for easy insertion into the vagina. They can be inserted using your fingers, or may come with an applicator. Pessaries are normally made of a solid vegetable oil that contains the medicine. The medicine is gradually released into the vagina as the pessary dissolves at body temperature
