Mechanism of action
Water-based vaginal lubricants work through physical lubrication rather than a drug mechanism, coating vaginal tissues to reduce friction during intercourse or examination. They are absorbed or dispersed over time and provide temporary symptomatic relief of vaginal dryness. This is a medical device/cosmetic product rather than a pharmaceutical drug with a molecular target.
