Gina 10mcg Vaginal Tablets

Estradiol vaginal tablets are a form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) used to treat vaginal symptoms associated with menopause, such as vaginal dryness, itching, and burning. These symptoms are caused by the decrease in estrogen levels that occur during menopause.

Estradiol is a type of estrogen hormone that is naturally produced in the body. It is the most important estrogen in women of reproductive age, and it plays a critical role in the development and maintenance of female reproductive organs and secondary sex characteristics.

Gina vaginal tablets release a small amount of oestrogen (estradiol) directly into the vaginal tissue, helping to:

• Restore elasticity and moisture in the vaginal walls.
• Reduce discomfort, dryness, and irritation.
• Alleviate painful symptoms during intercourse or urination.

By targeting the source of postmenopausal symptoms locally, Gina provides relief without the systemic risks associated with traditional HRT.

1. Initial Phase: Use one tablet daily for the first two weeks.
2. Maintenance Phase: Reduce to twice a week after the initial period.

Steps for application:

• Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
• Open the blister pack and remove the applicator and tablet.
• Insert the applicator gently into the vagina, ensuring a comfortable depth.
• Press the plunger to release the tablet.
• Remove and dispose of the applicator and wash your hands again.

Always follow the instructions provided in the packaging and consult your pharmacist or doctor if unsure.
