Ovestin belongs to a group of medications called hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Contains the female hormone estriol (estrogen). Ovestin is used in postmenopausal women who have had their last menstrual period naturally for at least 12 months. It is used to relieve menopausal symptoms in the vagina, such as dryness or irritation. In medical terms, this is known as “vaginal atrophy.” This is caused by a drop in estrogen levels in your body. This happens naturally after menopause. If the ovaries are surgically removed (ovariectomy) before menopause, the decrease in estrogen production occurs very abruptly. Estrogen deficiency during menopause can cause the vaginal wall to become thin and dry (vaginal dryness). Therefore, sexual intercourse can be painful and vaginal irritation and infections can occur. Estrogen deficiency can also lead to symptoms like urinary incontinence and recurrent cystitis. Ovestin works by replacing the estrogen that is normally produced in the ovaries. It is inserted into your vagina, so the hormone is released where it is needed. This can alleviate vaginal discomfort.

What is Ovestin?

ovestin cream is a hormonal preparation that contains the active ingredient estradiol, a natural form of the main female sex hormone, estrogen. Ovestin alleviates menopausal symptoms in menopausal or postmenopausal women by bringing hormone levels back to normal. This is what is known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Ovestin is only sold by prescription.

How does it work?

Ovestin 1mg contains the natural female hormone estriol. Unlike other estrogens, estriol is a short-acting estrogen. It replaces the lack of estrogenic production. In the case of vaginal atrophy, vaginally applied estriol induces normalization of the urogenital epithelium and helps restore normal microflora and the physiological pH of the vagina. Treatment of Vaginal Estrogen Deficiency Symptoms: Vaginally applied estrogen relieves symptoms of vaginal atrophy due to estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women.

What are the benefits of taking it?

Ovestin estriol 1mg vaginal cream is used to relieve vaginal menopausal symptoms such as vaginal dryness, irritation or itching, pain during sexual intercourse, and increased sensitivity to vaginal or urinary tract infections. Loss of estrogen in the body due to menopause can lead to thinning of the vaginal walls, which in turn can lead to discomfort. The active ingredient estriol improves the condition of the vaginal tissues, providing short-term relief from these uncomfortable symptoms.

How do I use it and its dosage?

Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Never exceed the dose prescribed by your doctor.

The recommended dose for vaginal discomfort is a daily application during the first weeks (maximum 4 weeks) and then the dose is gradually decreased until, for example, an application twice a week.

To improve wound healing in postmenopausal women undergoing vaginal surgery, the usual dose is 1 daily application for 2 weeks before surgery and then 1 application twice a week for 2 weeks after surgery.

To help evaluate vaginal smears from postmenopausal women, the usual dose is 1 application daily each day of the week before the test.

Your doctor may interrupt the treatment every 2-3 months for a period of 4 weeks to assess whether it is necessary to continue.
