Hi my last prescription was changed from Vagifem to Vagirux now I don’t know if it’s my imagination but I don’t feel the applicator that comes with the Vagirux is as easy and effective to use as the Vagifem ones I seem to have difficulty using it half the time the tablet doesn’t come out and I don’t seem to be able to get it very far in compared to when I used the Vagifem applicators I do have a prolapse and wondered if this is affecting it. I take this to protect against UTI’s and am concerned if the tablet isn’t far enough up it won’t work I would say it goes in about 3/4 of an index finger’s length if that makes sense  anyone else who’s switched noticed a difference or is it in fact my imagination right enough!

I believe that is the generic for Vagifem.  If it gets about 1/3 up, you should be ok.  According to the leaflet and experts, 1/3 is more beneficial.  Hopefully other ladies who have used generic will be along soon.

I had problems with the applicator not ejecting. I figured out there's a kind of double click, so you think it's ejected on the first, but in fact needs a second. It can be a bit random though regardless. I asked to go back on Vagifem as a result.

Thanks for the feedback I was thinking of asking if I can go back on Vagifem but have an idea what the answer will be  as I didn’t even know they were changing it until I went to pick up the prescription it’s all to do with cost I believe the Vagirux is cheaper

I have a sneaky feeling it's known that it's inferior and they'll readily accept reverting to Vagifem. When you request, you could always say others on this forum have found the same issues? A lot of gps do recommend this forum after all.
