Ovestin is a medication that contains the active ingredient estriol, a form of the female hormone estrogen. Estriol works by replenishing estrogen levels in the body, particularly in postmenopausal women experiencing symptoms such as vaginal dryness and irritation. Ovestin is suitable for women who need hormonal replacement therapy to alleviate menopausal discomfort.

About Ovestin
Dosage and usage
You should use Ovestin as directed by your healthcare provider. A common dosage is applying a specific amount of cream into the vagina once a day for the prescribed duration. Your doctor will advise you on the appropriate dose and how long you should use Ovestin. It's essential to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and not exceed the recommended dosage to avoid adverse effects.
What Ovestin contains
Each gram of Ovestin cream contains 0.1 mg of estriol as the active ingredient. The cream also includes excipients such as benzyl alcohol, cetostearyl alcohol, and macrogol stearate to aid in its effectiveness.
Side effects
Common side effects of Ovestin may include vaginal irritation, discharge, or itching. In some cases, serious side effects like allergic reactions or signs of blood clots could occur. If you experience symptoms like chest pain, trouble breathing, or sudden vision changes, seek medical help immediately.
Precautions
Avoid using Ovestin if you have a history of certain medical conditions like breast cancer, blood clots, or liver disease. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use Ovestin. If you have heart problems or are taking medications that may interact with estrogen, consult your doctor before using Ovestin to prevent complications.
