A tampon adapted to deliver a therapeutic agent includes a body having a proximal
end and a distal end. The body includes an absorbency zone adjacent the distal
end, wherein the absorbency zone includes absorbent material; an application zone
adjacent the proximal end and spaced apart from the distal end; and a therapeutic
agent positioned substantially within the application zone. A method produces a
device for delivering a therapeutic agent. The method includes manufacturing a
tampon having a body with a distal end, a proximal end, an absorbency zone adjacent
the distal end, and an application zone adjacent the proximal end; and locating
a therapeutic agent substantially within the application zone.
