Estriol Cream 1.0mg-15g Uses

Estriol Cream is primarily used to manage symptoms of vulvovaginal atrophy caused by reduced estrogen levels during menopause. It helps to:

  • Relieve vaginal dryness, itching, and irritation.
  • Improve elasticity and hydration of vaginal tissues.
  • Alleviate discomfort during sexual intercourse.

How Does Estriol Cream 1.0mg-15g Work

Estriol is a naturally occurring estrogen that mimics the body’s own hormones. When applied topically, it is absorbed into the vaginal tissues, promoting cell growth, hydration, and elasticity. This action helps restore the vaginal environment to a healthier state, reducing discomfort and improving quality of life.

  • Wash your hands before and after application to avoid contamination.
