What is Estradiol?

Estradiol vaginal tablets contain estradiol, a bioidentical hormone similar to the oestrogen your body naturally produces. After menopause, oestrogen levels decrease, which can lead to vaginal dryness, itching, irritation, and pain during intercourse.

Because this medication works locally and has very low absorption into the bloodstream, it can be used whether or not you have a uterus. Since it acts only locally and barely enters the bloodstream, there is no need to use an additional hormone (such as progesterone).

What can you expect from Estradiol?

When should I use Estradiol?

The tablets are usually used daily during the first few weeks, and then often twice a week (follow your doctor’s schedule).
The tablet is inserted into the vagina.
This product is intended for vaginal use only.
