Ovestin Cream
Ovestin Cream is a topical treatment used to alleviate symptoms of atrophic vaginitis, a condition characterised by vaginal dryness and irritation commonly experienced by postmenopausal women due to lower oestrogen levels.
The cream’s active ingredient is estriol, a form of oestrogen, which supplements the body’s natural oestrogen levels. This helps rejuvenate and maintain healthy vaginal tissue, relieving symptoms of vaginal atrophy.
