Solutions (lavages) and foams are liquid preparations. The foams differ from the solutions in the presence of a suitable propellant, in the formulation, and the type of container, a pressurized delivery device. Plasma concentration profiles obtained after solution administration are characterized by a burst effect followed by a rapid decrease below therapeutic levels, due to the low residence time of the formulation in the vaginal cavity. Such preparations are designed to achieve a local effect particularly in case of inflammations or infections caused by bacteria or yeasts (anaerobic bacteria or Candida species). Nonoxynol-9 (N-9) foam is used as a contraceptive and against sexually transmitted diseases [19].

HBV and HCV are diseases of the liver, sometimes referred to as hepatitis or inflammation of the liver. Both HBV and HCV are bloodbome pathogens, like HIV. The virus is most concentrated in blood, serum, and wound exudates. The virus is also present in smaller concentrations in semen, vaginal fluid, and breast milk. Low concentrations exist in urine, feces, sweat, tears, and saliva. The incubation period for HVB is from 45 to 160 days, and for HCV 2 to 26 weeks, with a fatality rate of 1 to 1.4%. Like HIV, symptoms are insidious at onset. They include anorexia, malaise, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, jaundice, skin rashes, arthralgies, and arthritis. A vaccine is available for HBV. 

One particularly promising material is AM. The biological properties of AM lends to its attractiveness for application to clinical and surgical practice. AM can reduce inflammation, inhibit vascularization, combat infection, and limit postoperative adhesion. It has been used to treat a variety of diseases such as nonhealing skin ulcers, vaginal atresia, and severe ocular surface disease. Moreover, it can serve as adjunctive tissue... 

A vaginal solution with iodinated povidone is best delivered as a stable concentrate, for instance Betadine -solution 100 mg/mL. The patient should dilute the concentrate ten times in an irrigator. The indication is fluor vaginalis with clinically evident inflammation but without a microbiological diagnosis.
