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.
