Vagifem – 24 tablets

By using Vagifem vaginal tablets, you will be able to lower plasma levels of estrogen and have greater effectiveness at controlling localised symptoms compared to a tablet.

It can take several days or even weeks for Vagifem vaginal tablets to be effective for menopausal symptoms. It is best to use vaginal tablets regularly for the results to be most effective.

If you miss a dose of Vagifem, insert it as soon as you remember – unless your next dose is due soon. In that case, you should skip the missed dose and maintain your regular schedule. Never take extra Vagifem to compensate for a missed dose.

PharmacyOnline.co.uk can prescribe Vagifem as long as you have previously used this treatment. Our doctors must conduct an online assessment to determine your suitability.

While the medicine is safe for ongoing use in most people, it's important to consult a healthcare professional and understand the potential risks. Your doctor will discuss the long-term benefits and considerations, ensuring you're comfortable with the decision.

Please leave Vagifem in the original blister pack at room temperature. You should also keep the tablets away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure children and pets can't access the medication at all times.

Vagifem might cause interactions with some medications, so it's best to inform the pharmacist or doctor of any other treatments, supplements, and vitamins you're taking. While it's a safe method for treating vaginal symptoms of menopause, Vagifem's interaction with certain medicines can increase your risk of side effects.

Inform your doctor about all medications, vitamins, and supplements you are taking, including prescription and over-the-counter products. Certain medications may interact with Vagifem, increasing the risk of side effects.

Unfortunately, doctors don't recommend using Vagifem if you have a history of breast cancer and hormone-sensitive conditions, as estrogen can increase the risk of cancer developing again.

If you have a history of hormone-related cancers, please consult your doctor, and they'll be able to advise an alternative treatment.

Yes, you can use Vagifem with most vaginal lubricants, but we recommend avoiding oil-based lubricants, as they can interfere with the tablets. Water-based lubricants are generally safer and don't cause as much irritation.

Please stop smoking when you use Vagifem, as it might increase your risk of developing blood clots. You should also let your doctor or pharmacist know if you're planning on having surgery in the near future, as you might need to discontinue Vagifem use.

While Vagifem is an effective treatment for vaginal discomfort and dryness, it won't treat mood swings and hot flashes. Your doctor can prescribe other medicines for these symptoms.
