What is Vagifem?

Vagifem contains Estradiol and is a female hormone medication which is used to treat the vaginal symptoms of menopause such as vaginal dryness, burning, itching and painful sexual intercourse. These symptoms are a result of the body making less estrogen which is a female sex hormone that regulates many body processes.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication.

• Vagifem is usually taken once a day for the first two weeks of treatment and twice weekly after that.
• Vagifem comes as individual applicators preloaded with a tablet inside.
• Gently insert the applicator into your vagina and push down the plunger in order to release the medication.
• If the tablet falls out before it is used, then discard it and use a new applicator.
• Your Vagifem dosage is based on your response to treatment and medical condition. Do not change your dosage or the frequency taken unless you are directed by a doctor.
• Vagifem is most effective when it is used regularly. Always follow your dosing schedule. Inform your doctor if your condition worsens or does not improve.

Make sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist:

• If you have any drug allergies.
• Which other prescription and non-prescription medications you currently take.
