Estragyn (Estrone Vaginal Cream)

Additional information

Estragyn (Estrone Vaginal Cream) is typically used once daily. The cream is usually used on a regular cycle, with 3 weeks of use followed by 1 week off. Sometimes the cream is used continuously – in these cases, the lowest dose that controls symptoms should be used. However, your doctor or pharmacist may have suggested a different schedule that is more appropriate for you. Important: Follow the instructions on the label. Do not use more of this product, or more often, than prescribed. If you forget a dose, contact your pharmacist. To use the applicator, remove the cap of the tube of cream and screw the nozzle end of the applicator onto the tube. Squeeze the cream until it reaches the mark that indicates the dose prescribed by your doctor. Unscrew the applicator from the tube, place it into the opening of the vagina, and gently press the plunger to release the medication. Clean the applicator by pulling the plunger out from the barrel and washing it with mild soap and warm water.
WARNING: Estrogens with or without progestins (other hormonal agents) should be used for the shortest time period possible at the lowest dose that relieves your menopausal symptoms. Estrogens with or without progestins should not be used to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, or strokes. The use of the vaginal cream may weaken latex found in condoms, diaphragms, or cervical caps and may contribute to contraceptive failure. People with diabetes should monitor their blood glucose closely to detect any changes in blood glucose control that sometimes occur with use of estrogens.
