Does this product have any side effects?

Like all medications, Replens MD Vaginal Moisturiser can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. This includes a residue or discharge that you may notice when you begin to use this product. This discharge is perfectly normal and happens when dry skin cells shed naturally from your vaginal tissues when you start to use this moisturiser. This process leaves softer, more supple tissues in place of the dry, dead skin cells, and helps to prevent more dead skin cells from building up. If you continue to use this product regularly, this discharge should disappear.
