What is Oxyquinoline Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
A non-irritating, water-dispersible acid gel for vaginal use. The drug is a combination product containing oxyquinoline sulfate 0.025% and sodium lauryl sulfate 0.01% that is adjusted to a pH of 4 (slightly lower than the normal vaginal pH of roughly 4.3).
