Vagifem Vaginal Tablets
Vagifem vaginal tablets are a form of estrogen therapy used to relieve symptoms of vaginal dryness, irritation, and discomfort caused by menopause. They work by restoring estrogen levels in the vaginal tissues, helping improve moisture, elasticity, and overall vaginal health. This treatment is applied locally, so it targets symptoms without significantly affecting the whole body.

Vagifem Vaginal Tablets Medication Description
Vagifem vaginal tablets are a localized estrogen therapy designed to treat symptoms of genitourinary syndrome of menopause, such as vaginal dryness, burning, and discomfort during intercourse. These symptoms occur because estrogen levels drop after menopause, leading to thinning and reduced elasticity of vaginal tissues. Vagifem delivers estradiol directly to the vaginal area, restoring tissue health and improving lubrication. Unlike systemic hormone therapy, Vagifem acts primarily in the vaginal tissues, which reduces overall hormone exposure and lowers the risk of systemic side effects. Treatment usually begins with daily use for two weeks, followed by a maintenance schedule of twice-weekly dosing. While Vagifem is highly effective for local symptoms, it does not address hot flashes or other whole-body menopausal symptoms. Patients should use this medication under medical guidance, especially if they have a history of breast cancer, blood clots, or other hormone-related conditions. -
Vagifem Vaginal Tablets Side Effects
Vagifem is generally well tolerated, but mild side effects such as vaginal discharge, irritation, or abdominal discomfort may occur. Rare but serious risks include blood clots, stroke, or hormone-sensitive cancers, although these are less likely with local therapy than with systemic estrogen. Patients should seek medical attention if they experience unexplained vaginal bleeding, severe pelvic pain, or signs of allergic reaction such as swelling or difficulty breathing. Regular follow-up visits help ensure safe and effective use. -
