Estriol 1MG/G Cream + Applicator - 15g

Buy Estriol 1mg/g Cream w/ applicator

Estriol is a type of HRT medication that’s used to relieve dryness in the vagina by increasing the levels of oestrogen in your body. As women get older, the ovaries gradually produce less oestrogen; this shortage may cause the vaginal wall to become dry and thin. This medicine works by replacing the oestrogen and is inserted into the vagina, so the hormone is released where it’s needed.

Directions

For how to apply the cream, please follow the instructions and diagrams in the patient information leaflet.

For vaginal problems:  

1 applicator up to the ring a day for the first 2-3 weeks, with the dose increasing to 1 applicator up the ring twice a week.

Before or after vaginal surgery:

Before: 1 applicator up to the ring a day for 2 weeks before the operation.

After: Do not use the cream for at least 2 weeks, then use 1 applicator up the ring twice a week.
