Estradiol (vaginal) is a hormone preparation mainly used to treat the uncomfortable symptoms caused by vaginal dryness in women after menopause. This medication can help restore moisture and elasticity to vaginal tissues and relieve pain and discomfort. Estradiol is usually used in the form of vaginal suppositories, creams, or patches, and patients should use it according to their doctor's advice. The use of estradiol may cause some side effects, including headache, nausea, breast discomfort, and vaginal bleeding. If you experience serious side effects such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, or leg edema, seek medical attention immediately. In Hong Kong, estradiol (vaginal use) may require a doctor's prescription to purchase. Patients should strictly follow the doctor's instructions when using it and should not adjust the dosage or stop using it on their own.
Directions: Gently insert the estradiol ointment or capsule into the vagina using the enclosed suppository or your fingers. It is best to use it before bedtime so that the medication can be absorbed during the night. It does not need to be taken with meals, but avoid using it during sexual activity. Avoid using too much medication or using it for too long. Before applying the medicine, wash your hands and keep your vagina dry.
Dosage Guidelines: For adult females, starting dose is 1 capsule or 2.5 to 5 mg ointment daily, adjusted based on symptoms and physician advice. For children or adolescents, the dosage should be determined according to the doctor's instructions and self-adjustment is not recommended. For long-term use, your doctor may adjust the dose to maintain therapeutic effects. If you experience any discomfort or side effects, consult your physician immediately.
Side effects of taking estradiol (vaginal) may include vaginal discomfort, burning sensation, headache, breast tenderness, nausea, abdominal pain, edema, mood swings, and dizziness. Serious side effects such as vaginal bleeding, unusual vaginal discharge, skin redness or swelling, difficulty breathing, vision changes, or sudden severe headache should prompt medical attention. Tell your doctor about any allergies, medical history, and other medicines you are taking. Use the medicine as directed by your doctor, do not overdose or stop taking the medicine, and consult your doctor if you have any questions.
