I went to see a doctor last week. I explained I was on Estriol and that I now thought I needed something.
He was very puzzled, didn't know why Estriol had been discontinued and didn't know what to prescribe me. He literally asked me what I wanted instead. My reply "you're the doctor"
He then called the pharmacy who said I should have Vagifem.
He was very abrupt, I was on the verge of making a complaint.
Anyway I now have my Vagifem but have not started using it. I have read all the side effects. I have also done some research about migraines, hair loss, increased risks etc etc.
Surely the doctor should have told me about the side effects, discussed my family history. It says that it shouldn't be used if you have had gallstones. I have and had gall bladder removed (I presume that it's Ok for me to take?)
Am I just worrying over nothing?
