Package Description:
6 APPLICATOR in 1 CARTON / 1 INSERT in 1 APPLICATOR
Product Code:
0169-5176
Proprietary Name:
Vagifem
Non-Proprietary Name:
Estradiol
Substance Name:
Estradiol
Usage Information:
This medication is a female hormone (estrogen). It is used by women to help reduce vaginal symptoms of menopause (such as vaginal dryness/burning/itching). These symptoms are caused by the body making less estrogen. When treating only vaginal symptoms of menopause, products applied directly inside the vagina (such as this medication) should be used first. Estrogens that are taken by mouth, absorbed through the skin, or injected may have greater risks of side effects due to more estrogen being absorbed.
