Vitamin C "?'s: Vitamin C has some side effects when used as vaginal suppositories, such as burning, itching, but seems to ease vaginal "yeast" infections. Antibiotic use for bacterial infections can contribute to an increase in yeast (fungal) infections, so there may be some benefits while taking antibiotics in using Vitamin C pessaries.
