What are risks of taking Ovestin 1mg vaginal gel long term The instructions in the packet may read every night for two weeks then twice weekly but I've never been prescribed that dosage On my label prescribed by the doctor it reads use every night for ovestin and 5 times a week for vagifem Twice a week would never be enough for me and my vulva specialist knows this and said to use daily if needed
Ovestin - Menopause Matters Once upon a time there were two branded estriol creams - Gynest and Ovestin Gynest was 10 x weaker than Ovestin, at 0 1 mg per g ie 0 01 % Ovestin is (was?) 1 mg per g ie 1 % The dosage for the Gynest cream was much greater than for Ovestin (because it was weaker) so it could therefore easily be used more liberally without messing up the dose
Ovestin internal cream - Menopause Matters This is all I started with as I was also very sensitive and suffered cramps, breast soreness and feeling sick in the morning As the vaginal walls hydrate and things plump up the estrogen will not go systemic and you will be able to increase the amount without it causing so many side effects I use Ovestin every night this way now with no problems
UTI - from using ovestin? - Menopause Matters About 5 days ago, I applied Ovestin cream externally, including over the urethra, probably a bit too liberally And it was right before bed, didn't pee afterwards Well - I seem to have given myself a UTI from it The exact same happened in Dec last year, I suspected it was applying Ovestin that did it
Ovestin cream discontinued- help!!! - Menopause Matters One recommended I ask my GP for a generic version which she has done but the brand is estriol I’ve asked the pharmacist and she said it’s the same concentration Does anyone happen to understand this or have any experience of using this in place of Ovestin The one I was using was estriol 0 01% This didn’t work but Ovestin 0 1% did
Ovestin v Vagifem Inernally - Menopause Matters I can compare ovestin to estriol 0 01 cream And found ovestin much more effective for me The dose is the same so I think it might be due to the consistency The estriol seemed to form "globs" and a fair amount would leak out onto underwear whereas ovestin doesnt with me I believe a forum member has tried introsa and has a thread on it Whatsup
Severe side effects on OVESTIN - will they go? - Menopause Matters Get that Ovestin up there, right now ! Do read the vaginal atrophy thread Many GPs believe that a 2 week loading followed by twice a week application is 'enough', however!

ovestin thrush - Menopause Matters Ovestin doesn't seem to be suiting you and causing some confusion with the added complication of thrush What about Vagifem, a more of a slow release remedy but very effective in the long run and certainly not greasy You can buy it yourself under the name Gina if you don't want to wait for a doctors appointment
Vagifem or Ovestin - Menopause Matters Forum I had an appointment with an excellent female specialist who was happy with my progress and her internal check confirmed that things were no longer dry 'down there' She gave me a script for Vagifem pessaries if I felt like a change or if I felt that Ovestin was not working as well at any point Can I ask for opinions please?
Vaginal dryness - Vagifem or Ovestin? - Menopause Matters I use Ovestin, mainly because by the time I was diagnosed, it was too painful to insert an applicator and with the cream, I could start off applying it outside and gradually apply it further in as the pain eased Something to bear in mind if you do find an applicator too uncomfortable when you try it
