Buy Ovesse 1mg/g Vaginal Cream - 15g Tube + Applicator
Ovesse contains a medicine called estriol, a type of HRT medication. It is used to relieve dryness and irritation in the vagina following the menopause.
There is a natural drop in oestrogen in women as they get older, and this drop may cause the vaginal wall to become thinner, drier and less elastic. Ovesse works by replacing the oestrogen.
Directions
Always use Ovesse exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you.
This medicine is for vaginal use only; you will need to fill the applicator with cream from the tube yourself. A good time to do this is before bed.
Please follow the instructions and diagrams in the patient information leaflet for how to apply the cream.
Initial dose: 1 applicator filled up to the red ring mark once a day for 2 weeks.
Maintenance dose:1 applicator filled up to the red ring mark twice a week (3 or 4 days between each dose).
