Ovestin (Estriol) Cream

Ovestin belongs to a group of medicines called vaginal Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It contains the female hormone estriol (an estrogen). Ovestin is used in postmenopausal women with at least 12 months since their last period.
It is used to relieve menopausal symptoms in the vagina such as dryness or irritation. In medical terms this is known as ‘vaginal atrophy’. It is caused by a drop in the levels of oestrogen in your body. This happens naturally after the menopause.
