Hi ladies, just wondering if I should ues estriol cream more than twice a week, been on it for 2 months, starting with every night for 2 weeks then twice a week. The last few weeks started to feel sore and ichy again.
Thank you x
Check with your doctor as you can overdose on estriol cream, suffice what Flossie said there's no way that the leaflet is outdated!
The leaflet was written when Vagifem had a higher dosage hence people only needing it twice a week. How is it possible to overdose on estriol cream by using it daily? I have been using it daily for over three years and quite a few members on here also need to use it daily.
This is information I have found:
The acute toxicity of Ovestin Vaginal Cream in animals is very low. Overdosage with Ovestin Vaginal Cream after vaginal administration is unlikely.
However, should large quantities be ingested, nausea, vomiting and withdrawal bleeding in females may develop. No specific antidote is known. Symptomatic treatment can be given if necessary.
