A gelled pharmaceutical composition suitable for the treatment of a bacterial vaginal infection comprises, on a total composition weight basis, about 0.1 to about 2 weight percent of benzydamine hydrochloride, about 0.5 to about 4 weight percent of a carbomer polymer, and about 3 to about 50 weight percent of propylene glycol, in water having a pH in the range of about 3.5 to about 6. Optionally, the gelled compositions can also contain polyethylene glycols, physiologically tolerable preservatives and electrolytes, as well as other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
