How Does it Work

Estriol 0.5 mg/ml Vaginal Gel is a specially formulated, gel-like semisolid medication designed for direct application to the vaginal area. It is primarily used in the treatment of various gynecological conditions such as Atrophic Vaginitis, Vulvovaginal Atrophy, Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause, Dyspareunia, and Lichen Sclerosus.

The active ingredient, Estriol, is a form of estrogen, a hormone that plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of the vagina and urinary tract. During menopause, the body's natural production of estrogen decreases, leading to symptoms such as dryness, itching, burning, and pain in the vaginal area.

Additionally, it helps to reduce inflammation and improve the overall health of the vagina and urinary tract.

Estriol 0.5 mg/ml Vaginal Gel is applied directly to the affected area once or twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. The gel should be gently rubbed in until it is completely absorbed. It is important to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes during application.
