Vagifem (Estradiol) 10mcg Vaginal Tablets 24 is a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) which contains the female hormone Oestrogen-Estradiol. It is used to relieve menopausal symptoms in the vagina such as dryness or irritation. It works by replacing the oestrogen which is normally produced in the ovaries of women.
Estradiol, an oestrogen analogue that is exactly the same as the oestrogen produced by the ovaries, is a component of the female sex hormone vagifem.
These tablets provide localised relief from menopausal symptoms when inserted into the vagina using a handy, smooth plastic applicator, so the hormone is released where it is needed.
Oestrogen, the active component of Vagifem tablets, acts where the problem is because they are inserted into the vagina. Therefore, Vagifem is a great option for HRT for women who experience vaginal dryness, irritation, pain, and urination issues but do not require treatment for other menopausal symptoms like hot flushes.
The hypothalamus, which controls body temperature, is impacted by oestrogen. Hot flushes and night sweats, two bothersome menopausal and perimenopause symptoms, are brought on by low oestrogen.
