Estriol & femoston together
« on: July 22, 2022, 03:04:39 PM »

Hi ladies.

I am currently using estriol cream just a pea sized amount everyday for VA Dr said this would be ok as I'm afraid to use anymore. I've now also been prescribed Femoston. When I start Femoston should I stop using the pea sized amount of estriol cream everyday? I've got really bad anxiety about taking medication.

No, you shouldn't stop the estriol cream when you start femeston. The cream is a local oestrogen cream for VA only.
The femeston is systemic HRT and should hopefully help with your other symptoms.
Many women need both to keep VA at bay ( I do).

No problem. Try not to worry. The cream contains only a tiny amount of oestrogen, just enough to tackle the VA.

The femeston should help with the other symptoms, but can also help with the VA at the same time.

Best of luck  :)
