Gina 10 Micrograms X 24 Vaginal Tablet's

Local Oestrogen HRT for Postmenopausal Symptom Relief

Gina (estradiol) is a localized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) used to treat vaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women. It specifically targets symptoms such as vaginal dryness, soreness, and itching caused by a deficiency in oestrogen after menopause.

How It Works

Each tablet contains a low dose of estradiol, which is released directly into the vaginal tissues. This local action helps restore the natural moisture and elasticity of the vaginal lining with minimal absorption into the rest of the bloodstream.

Usage & Dosage Instructions

Initial Phase: Insert one tablet daily for the first 2 weeks.
Maintenance Phase: After the first 2 weeks, reduce usage to one tablet twice a week (with 3–4 days between doses).
Administration: Use the pre-loaded, single-use applicator provided. It is recommended to use the treatment at the same time each day, preferably before bed.
Eligibility & Safety
Suitability: This product is for postmenopausal women aged 50 and over who have not had a period for at least 12 consecutive months.
Contraindications: Do not use if you have a history of breast, uterine, or ovarian cancer, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or blood clotting disorders.
Medical Monitoring: You must continue to attend regular breast screenings and cervical smears as advised by your GP. Notify your doctor that you are using local HRT.
Warning Signs: Consult a doctor immediately if you experience any new or unusual vaginal bleeding, or if you notice changes in your breasts.
