What is Imvaggis?

Imvaggis is a vaginal tablet containing the bio-identical hormone estriol. This hormone is similar to the oestrogen naturally produced by your body. During menopause, oestrogen levels decline, which can result in symptoms such as recurrent thrush or urinary tract infections, vaginal dryness, or discharge. Imvaggis is a hormone therapy designed to relieve these symptoms by improving the health and elasticity of the vaginal lining. The product works locally within the vagina and is only available with a prescription.
