Ive been using Ovestin successfully for six years and have never had a problem. About three weeks ago i noticed a really bad burning sensation almost immediately after inserting it. I managed to speak to a Dr this morning and he has changed my prescription o Vagifem. I'm wondering if anyone else has had these issues and has Ovestin changed the ingredients? The pharmacist seemed to suggest they had. Any advice would be very welcome.
im not a great expert on it but i was prescibed a couple of weeks ago i had instant burning so stopped immediately just assumed i was allergic to the cream, also ended up with thrush! so im not sure others on here may have more of an insight.
I had the same problem. Used it successfully and then it started burning so i went back to vagifem.
Hi Is vagifem available over the counter.? or do you need a script?
In the UK you need a prescription
How long have you been using Vagifem? why did you swap to ovestin?
I had been using vagifem for a few years, but thought it was not working, so swapped to the cream. Used it successfully for a few months then got the burning , so back to vagifem. It definitely has helped my urinary tract infections. I had nasty ones at beginning of menopause.
