warick - there is nothing in Multi Gyn that could cause vertigo!!!! I am only recommending Multi Gyn Actigel as I have found to be very effective. The itching that Jenna describes is also a strange effect

. I suspect Jenna is very allergic to things - if you are concerned, then do look at the ingredients and if you think you are allergic to anything in it then don't use it. I am very sensitive to many products but have been fine on Multi Gyn. Multi Gyn Actigel is designed to restore the healthy balance in the vaginal area and combat the chance of thrush and bacteria taking hold and causing itching, soreness etc. I find it reduces the UTI type irritation. Everyone does need to find a product that works for them and if it's just moisturisation you need then the water based lubricant will be very good. However, I have treated strange discharge and thrush very successfully with Multi Gyn and have found regular use to be a good preventative. I must stress there are other products e.g. Hyalofemme
BTW - I think odd vaginal secretions, itching, thrush etc. are common side effects stated in the leaflets of any HRT (not just Livial) also with BCPs. Don't forget vaginal itching, soreness, vaginal infections and UTIs are common post meno symptoms as well. DG x
