Hi Ladies,
I read through some previous posts on generic estrogen, there were just a few, so I am reaching out to ask again before I ask my GP to revert to Vagifem.
I did well on Vagifem, the gynae said you are well estronised now so you can cut back from 5 to 2 per week. Which didnt work for me, I went back to sore and red. Then, the GP changed the prescription to a generic brand, which I use 5 nights now but I am getting worse, the skin all around has turned very dark purple and everything is shrinking. I am using a steroid cream as I was recently diagnosed with LS. So I am not sure if this deterioration is down to the Vagifem change or not. I saw my GP and she said this isnt looking normal, and a swab was taken. I feel everything has gone downhill since switching to the generic. I know it is supposed to be the same, but I wonder if the balance of ingredients is off or the quality of them below par?
I am keen to know if anyone else has noticed a lack of efficacy. Thanks all
