Hi

I am a bit confused about oestrogen pessaries and I wondered if anyone might be able to help me.  I was prescribed Imvaggis, which says that it contains 0.03mg of estriol.  But I didn't get on with them, as I don't have a problem with dryness and rather embarrassingly, they kept slipping out.  So my specialist has prescribed me Vagirux instead, which says it contains 10 micrograms of estradiol.  That seems to be a huge difference in amounts (but it could easily be I misunderstand) especially given that I am currently taking Lenzetto spray which says that it contains 1.53mg of estradiol.   Which would make the Vagirux much stronger than Lenzetto, and yet I thought the pessaries were supposed to be low dose!

I am supposed to be increasing my Lenzetto from 3 sprays to 4 too, and I don't want to do that if the Vagirux does contain a high dose.

I hope that makes sense.

Thank you.

Thank you.  I was assuming the abbreviation for micro grams was mg but it’s not, it’s mcg.  Hence my confusion but you’re right, it’s not a high dose.
