Table 1. Effect of intravaginal administration of LFNPs on body and organ weights (gm).

Table 2. Bioavailability of drugs (µg/ml) in the vaginal lavage of rats that received drug loaded LFNPs by intravaginal route.

Table 3. Bioavailability of drugs in the blood (ng/ml) of rats that received drug loaded LFNPs by intravaginal route.

Figure 1. Histopathology of vagina after vaginal administration of DL-LFNPs. Rats were administered 30 mg of DL-LFNPs via the vaginal route for 20 days. At the end of the treatment, vaginal tissue was collected, sectioned and stained with hematoxylin and eosin.
