You’re on board that your stomach can break down a capsule right?
The patients vagina is doing the same thing. The material used for the outer capsule is made to “dissolve” due to one of the factors found within the vagina (heat/pH/damp) then, the powder which has the active ingredient can come in contact with the walls of the vagina and glands there and begin to do it’s work.
