An nhs gynae prescribed me vagifem daily x

[Tracey E]

The new product is called Intrarosa and is now available on nhs. I've been using it for about a week and love it. Vagifem caused irritation for me.

Hi are you using this with any other HRT or as a stand alone product Kilted?

[KiltedCupid]

Tracey E - I'm on low dose hrt and use the intrarosa alt days. Working well so far.

I tried to get Inrarosa on my last doctors app's and she told me it wasn't available yet. I'll try again next week.

Better than Vagifem?

Keep us posted with how it goes. Vagifem caused problems for me so I now use estriol, but it would be great if there was an alternative.

[KiltedCupid]

Personally, I think it's better than Vagifem, I always had residual irritation only in the perineum area which Vagifem and ovestin didn't shift and Intrarosa has eased after only a week of use.

What format does it come in Kilted?

[Dierdre]

Ive read its fat based, coconut and palm oil i think, that rules me out trying it, coconut oil irritated when i tried it before externally as a moisturisor but most people find it soothing.

[Tracey E]

Hi ladies, I'm on Vagifem daily can I use Ovestin on the outside bits if so how often? x

[Dierdre]

I use Vagifem 5 times week and Ovestin every night on the outside bits.

Hi ladies, I'm on Vagifem daily can I use Ovestin on the outside bits if so how often? x

Yes, absolutely. As to how often,  I should think daily if you need it. I've been using Estriol Cream daily on the outside, although it is weaker than Ovestin.

What format does it come in Kilted?

Tracey E - they're a slim bullet shaped pessary and I 8 think it's just coconut oil in addition to the active hormones. Feels good, no irritation.

So they Estrogen in them as well?

[KiltedCupid]

Well yes, but it's oestrogen that's broken down by metabolising DHEA. DHEA is the parent hormone and it's metabolised in the body into oestrogen and testosterone, but only locally, in the vagina in this case. It's probably worth googling Intrarosa for the company info as I may well be talking nonsense!

[Lanzalover]

As far as I'm aware it doesn't contain any oestrogen it's a non hormonal treatment,
