Zumenon is a hormone medicine containing estradiol, used to relieve moderate to severe vaginal symptoms caused by menopause, such as dryness and thinning of the vaginal walls.

What it is

Zumenon contains estradiol, a form of the hormone estrogen. It is a hormone therapy used to manage menopausal symptoms.

What it's used for

This medicine is used to treat moderate to severe symptoms of vulvar and vaginal atrophy resulting from menopause. These may include vaginal dryness, itching, burning, and pain during intercourse.

Common side effects

Common side effects may include abnormal uterine bleeding or spotting, pelvic pain, changes in cervical secretions, increased size of uterine fibroids, and vaginal infections such as yeast infections.

Important cautions

Do not use if you have undiagnosed abnormal vaginal bleeding, known or suspected breast cancer, estrogen-dependent tumours, active or past blood clots (e.g., deep vein thrombosis, stroke), or an allergic reaction to estradiol. Using estrogens may increase the risk of stroke and blood clots. This product may be absorbed into the bloodstream; therefore, warnings for oral estrogens also apply.
