A small arrow pointing down

Estriol 1 mg Vaginal Suppository is a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) specifically designed to alleviate symptoms associated with Atrophic Vaginitis, Vulvovaginal Atrophy, Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause, Postmenopausal Vaginal Dryness, and Dyspareunia. Estriol, a form of estrogen, is the active ingredient in this suppository. Estrogen is a crucial hormone that regulates the female reproductive system. During menopause, the body's natural production of estrogen decreases, leading to various uncomfortable symptoms.

The Estriol 1 mg Vaginal Suppository works by supplementing the body's estrogen levels, thereby reducing symptoms such as vaginal dryness, itching, burning, and pain during intercourse. The suppository is inserted into the vagina, where it dissolves or melts, allowing the medication to be absorbed into the bloodstream. It is crucial to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the use of this suppository, as the amount of estrogen absorbed can vary depending on the dose and frequency of use. It is recommended to use Estriol for the shortest duration necessary, as prolonged use of estrogen can potentially increase the risk of certain health conditions.

While the Estriol 1 mg Vaginal Suppository is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects. These can include nausea, headache, breast tenderness, and vaginal bleeding. If you experience any of these side effects, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately.
