Vagimoist 1Mg Vaginal Cream belongs to a group of medicines called hormone replacement therapy used to relieve menopausal symptoms in the vagina, such as vaginal atrophy (vaginal dryness or irritation). It is used before/after vaginal surgery to help wound healing. Vaginal atrophy occurs due to a drop in the levels of oestrogen that naturally happens after menopause.

Vagimoist 1Mg Vaginal Cream contains ‘estriol’, which works by replacing the oestrogen that is normally produced by the ovaries, thereby helping provide relief from discomfort, dryness or irritation in the vagina.

In some cases, you may experience side effects such as itching, irritation of the skin around the vagina, swollen, tender, or painful breasts, headache, and nausea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Avoid using Vagimoist 1Mg Vaginal Cream if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Vaginal atrophy: When women get older, the ovaries gradually produce less oestrogen; this happens at menopause or if the ovaries are removed before menopause. Vaginal atrophy occurs due to a drop in the levels of oestrogen that naturally happens after menopause. It is a condition in which the vaginal lining becomes thinner and drier, leading to itching, burning sensation, pain during sex, dryness, and itching in the vagina.
