Ovestin Information:

Buy Ovestin

Ovestin (Estriol) is used in postmenopausal women to alleviate symptoms of menopause, such as vulvovaginal atrophy (such as dryness, itching, and pain during intercourse) and prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) associated with menopause. Ovestin contains estriol, an estrogen hormone, as its active ingredient. It belongs to the group of medications called hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It works by binding to estrogen receptors in various tissues, helping to replenish estrogen levels that drop after menopause. This replenishment helps restore the normal function and structure of the genitourinary lining, alleviating the associated vaginal atrophy symptoms and preventing recurrent urinary tract infections.

It significantly improves vaginal health without the systemic risks associated with other estrogen therapies, such as increased risk of breast cancer or cardiovascular events. However, it should still be used with caution, especially in women with a history of hormone-sensitive conditions (source).
