When I tried it it burned me so bad that it took 3 months and steroids to get things calmed down. It was just this month that things finally quieted down. The ingredients list sodium hydroxide which is lye. I guess on some people it is just too much. The lye I assume is to get the pH in normal range like Boric Acid does. For me it was too much. Glad that it is working out for you! http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jhtml?PRODID=3327 & CATID=100225 this site shows the sodium hydroxide that my tube had on it but I noticed that some of the sites listed ingredients don't show it. http://www.hocks.com/htm/feminine/3023249.htm I wonder if they have changed the ingredients since I used it a few months ago and I got an older tube?? I just now wrote to the Replens company as their site does not list it either. My tube had it listed so it makes me wonder if there are two kinds around or that they removed it recently.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Vaginal dryness and atrophy associated with menopause. One good thing about it is it's pH, it keeps us acidic.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 It has been 24+ hours and my pain is better, can't explain why it hurt other women. I've used Estrace too, and it makes me smell. I'll probably continue to use some externally, and the package insert does say to expect some discharge/ sloughing as our tissues condition and get moist again, the old skin has to go somewhere.

I get the smell of cut bell peppers sometimes and wonder if it is related to the estrace. I only use it outside. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 Consider yourself lucky. Estring gave me BV and Vagifem irritated the heck out of me.
