Buy Gina 10 Micrograms Vaginal Tablets 

Gina 10 Micrograms Vaginal Tablets are used to relieve vaginal dryness and irritation associated with menopause.

 

How Gina 10 Micrograms Vaginal Tablets work

The active ingredient in Gina is estradiol, a type of the female sex hormone oestrogen. Oestrogen levels naturally drop during menopause, so a treatment like estradiol replaces these lost hormones and helps to relieve symptoms associated with menopause. 

This type of treatment is referred to as hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

 

Directions

Always use Gina exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you. 

This product is for vaginal use only. Each tablet comes preloaded in a single-use intravaginal applicator. 

For the initial dose, use one vaginal tablet each day for the first week, leaving 3-4 days between each dose. If you miss a dose, use the medicine as soon as you remember. Do not use a double dose to make up for the forgotten dose. 

 

Side effects

Like all medicines, Gina may cause side effects in some people, but these won’t affect everybody. Common side effects may include:

 

  • Headaches 
  • Stomach pain 
  • Vaginal bleeding, discharge or discomfort 

 

If you experience any side effects, including any not included in the patient information leaflet, you can report them using the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.

 

Serious side effects

Seek emergency medical attention if you notice any signs of a severe allergic reaction, symptoms of which include swelling of the face and throat, skin rash, breathing difficulties and/or loss of consciousness. 

Stop using this product straight away and seek medical advice immediately if:

 

  • You expereince any new vaginal bleeding, spotting or itching 
  • You have endometriosis, and your symptoms have come back 
  • You develop a vaginal infection
  • You expereince painful swelling and redness of the legs, sudden chest pain and difficulty breathing
  • You experience yellowing of the skin or whites of your eyes (jaundice) 
  • You experience a large rise in blood pressure. Symptoms may include headaches, tiredness and dizziness
  • Migraine-like headaches which happen for the first time

 

It is not known if Gina can be safely used in women who have had breast cancer in the past. Check your breasts regularly and speak to your healthcare provider if you notice any changes.

Ovarian cancer is rare. However, the use of oestrogen-only systemic HRT has been associated with a slightly higher risk of ovarian cancer.

The risk of developing a blood clot in your veins is 1.3-3 times higher in systemic HRT users than non-users, especially during the first year. Blood clots can be serious, and if one travels to the lungs, it can cause chest pain, breathlessness, fainting and can even be fatal.

The risk of having a stroke is about 1.5 times higher in HRT users than non-users. The risk increases slightly with age.

There is evidence to suggest that women who start using HRT after the age of 65 might be at higher risk of experiencing memory loss.

 

Warnings

Gina may be unsuitable for certain people. Do not use this product if you are allergic to any of the ingredients or if:
