Vagifem Vaginal Tablet (active ingredient: estradiol) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Vaginal Atrophy: Vagifem Vaginal Tablet is used to treat symptoms of vaginal atrophy, such as dryness, itching, and burning, associated with menopause or other conditions causing decreased estrogen levels.

Vagifem Vaginal Tablet belongs to a class of drugs known as estrogen replacement therapies, which work by replenishing estrogen levels in the vaginal tissues to alleviate symptoms related to estrogen deficiency.

Vagifem vaginal tablets are prescribed as one tablet daily for the first two weeks and then one tablet two times a week thereafter. Insert the tablet on the same day each week. A dosing schedule will help to avoid missing a dose.

Here are the general instructions for how to use Vagifem tablets:

  1. Wash your hands before handling the tablet and applicator.
  2. Remove the applicator from the package and insert a tablet into the applicator. You may need to moisten the tablet with water to help with insertion.
  3. Lie on your back with your knees bent and spread apart.
  4. Gently insert the applicator into your vagina as far as it will comfortably go.
  5. Push the plunger on the applicator to release the tablet into your vagina.
  6. Remove the applicator and dispose of it.

The usage can vary depending on the condition of the patient and should be used as directed by the doctor. Read the patient information leaflet before using the medication. If you have any questions about how to use Vagifem tablets, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
