Description
Gentian violet aqueous solution is a liquid formulation of gentian violet, a synthetic dye with antifungal and antibacterial properties, dissolved in water. Unlike the alcoholic solution, which uses alcohol as a solvent, the aqueous solution utilizes water as the solvent.
In healthcare, gentian violet aqueous solution is used as a topical antiseptic and antifungal agent. It is applied to the skin or mucous membranes to treat fungal infections such as thrush (oral candidiasis), vaginal yeast infections, and fungal skin infections. The aqueous solution allows for easy application and is suitable for sensitive areas.
