Vagifem

[Guest guest]

Hi Paivi

Welcome to the list, nice to have you aboard.

Yes, Vagifem is the female insert pill, and it is the regular Estradiol 17b...

but it's a very low dose of Estradiol (25.8 mcg whereas I use a full 2mg

(orally) and not micrograms) I think 'I'd' need eight of them *chuckle*... it

might be great for those just trying to see if would work for them and may be

fine with a lower dose and for those who are uncomfortable with the thought of

adding hormones.

By the way anytime you see the term Estradiol (E2) used in various medical

articles they do mean the Estradiol 17b. Just be aware when they use the

generic term ' Estrogen'. Hope it helps, it sure was what 'cured' me just

using the cream topically as with Estrace, though some say 'remission', all I

know is no more pain for the past two years after those ten years of hell

when my blood levels were fine.

Good luck.

Warmest, Dee~

p.s. don't know about the Emla, never tried that.

VAGIFEM DESCRIPTION:

is the only vaginal tablet available containing estrogen derived from plants.

(same as Estrace) The estrogen contained in VAGIFEM, 17beta-estradiol, is

identical to the estrogen that is produced normally in your body before

menopause. VAGIFEM is clinically proven to relieve the symptoms and discomfort

of AV, including dryness, soreness and irritation. Plus, you can take comfort in

knowing that the type of estrogen in VAGIFEM has been used by millions of women

worldwide in a variety of healthcare products such as oral contraceptives and

oral hormone replacement therapies (HRT).

Atrophic vaginitis (AV) is a condition that frequently occurs in women as a

result of estrogen deficiency following menopause. The symptoms of AV include

vaginal dryness, itching and irritation that can also lead to painful

intercourse. These symptoms can be effectively relieved by VAGIFEM, the world's

first vaginal estrogen tablet containing 25.8 mcg of 17ß-estradiol hemihydrate

equivalent to 25 mcg of 17ß-estradiol.
