Ovestin Cream is also known as Estriol, and is used by women who have already gone through menopause to relieve symptoms of atrophy of the urogenital tract. These symptoms include vaginal and urinary recurring infections and mild incontinence. Ovestin Cream (Estriol) contains the naturally occurring form of a female hormone called estrogen. Since the ovaries create less estrogen over time before menopause and decrease drastically afterwards, symptoms such as vaginal dryness or itching can cause discomfort or pain. Ovestin Cream (Estriol) is given normally as a supplement to help replace the levels of estrogen in the body, called hormone replacement therapy or HRT. Ovestin Cream (Estriol) is applied directly to the vagina to give the vaginal symptoms a chance to cease due to direct contact with the hormone.
Ovestin Cream (Estriol) is inserted directly in the vagina by using the provided applicator. This allows small amounts of estrogen to be released into the tissues and helps to relieve symptoms for a short time. The Ovestin Cream (Estriol) can also be used just before or after surgery to help with symptoms of vaginal prolapse. Any US or Canadian prescriptions or over the counter vitamins or medications should be disclosed prior to taking Ovestion Cream.
