Unlike systemic HRT, Vagifem works locally, meaning very little estrogen is absorbed into the bloodstream, making it suitable for many women who can’t use full-body hormone replacement therapy.
Common symptoms of vaginal estrogen deficiency include:
Vagifem is not a contraceptive and is not suitable during pregnancy. Our doctors will review your full health history before prescribing.

Vagifem can usually be safely used alongside systemic Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). However, it’s essential to inform your doctor in your medical intake form if you’re taking other hormone treatments so that they can provide tailored advice specific to your needs.
Vagifem is generally very well-tolerated. However, some women may experience mild side effects such as vaginal discharge, itching, or mild irritation. If these symptoms persist or worsen, please don’t hesitate to contact our medical team or your general practitioner.
