1. What Vagifem is and what it is used for
Vagifem contains estradiol
• Estradiol is a female sex hormone.
• It belongs to a group of hormones called oestrogens.
• It is exactly the same as the estradiol produced by the ovaries of women.
Vagifem belongs to a group of medicines called vaginal Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
It is used to relieve menopausal symptoms in the vagina such as dryness or irritation. In medical terms
this is known as ‘vaginal atrophy’. It is caused by a drop in the levels of oestrogen in your body. This
happens naturally after the menopause.
Vagifem works by replacing the oestrogen which is normally produced in the ovaries of women. It is
inserted into your vagina, so the hormone is released where it is needed. This may relieve discomfort
in the vagina. https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/files/pil.5719.pdf
