Estring Vagl

Estring Vagl Uses

This medication is a female estrogen hormone and is usually given to women who no longer produce the amount of estrogen they produced before menopause. It is a very effective treatment for reducing vaginal menopause symptoms (e.g., dryness, burning, itching) and urinary symptoms (e.g., frequent urges to urinate, painful urination).

How To Use Estring Vagl

Insert the ring into the upper third of the vagina as directed. Generally, the ring is left in place for 90 days and then removed and replaced with a new ring if therapy is continued. Do not leave a ring in place for longer than 90 days. Follow the dosing schedule carefully.

Learn all usage instructions in the product package and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unclear about any of the information.

When placed properly, you should not feel the ring and it will not interfere with sexual intercourse. If the ring moves into the lower part of your vagina, push it back into place with your finger. If the ring falls out of the vagina, rinse the ring with lukewarm water and re-insert. The ring is removed by hooking your finger through the ring and gently pulling it out. Contact your doctor if you have trouble removing the ring. Discard the used ring in the trash container. Do not flush it down the toilet.

Vaginal and urinary symptoms should improve within 2-3 weeks of starting this medication. If symptoms persist, contact your doctor.

Read the Patient Information Leaflet available from your pharmacist. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
