| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR OSPHENA | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | vaginal atrophy | WEIGHT gain | Very little improvement in atrophy. Weight gain is atrocious. I did not have food cravings. My usual routine for losing a few pounds put the weight on. NO MORE OSPHENA for me | F | 62 | 3 months 30 mg 1X day | 3/9/2016 | 1 | Painful intercourse | Increased appetite and weight gain | Not worth the side effects. Will try other solutions. | F | 59 | 1 months 60 | 12/28/2015 | 4 | Vaginal Atrophy | Hot Flashes, increased appetite (potential weight gain) | Works as claimed for vaginal dryness, with a side effect of eliminating stress incontinence for me. BUT the hot flashes and increased appetite are big disadvantages. I am considering discontinuing, even though the desired effects are terrific. | F | 55 | 21 days 60 1X day | 12/23/2015 | 5 | Painful sex, dryness, UTI | Only had a few mild hot flushes but they diminished over about 3-4 weeks. Nothing that bad. | I was having frequent UTI's after sex and had pain during intercourse even after using lubricants. I was on Premarin before but did not like using the cream and had OK results. When I first started on the product I used it everyday for 90 days. After that I have been taking it 3 times per week and I have continued to have great results. My husband says it makes a difference in lubrication. VERY HAPPY. | F | 58 | 9 months 60mg 1X day | 10/2/2015 | 2 | vaginal atrophy and painful sex | Weight gain | I am experiencing large weight gain. Almost 20 lbs. Have never been overweight. Very upsetting and depressing. DOES stop painful intercourse but weight now has me unable to look in the mirror. | F | 55 | 1X day | 6/16/2015 | 3 | vaginal atrophy | weight gain | Still too early to tell if it helps but I am already fairly convinced that it causes weight gain which is not listed as a side effect. Anyone else have this experience? | F | 54 | 17 days 1X day | 3/29/2015 | 1 | Dyspareunia (painful sex) | severe leg spasms. Charlie horse and foot cramps at night. Fatigue. Abdominal pain. Headache | F | 57 | 5 days 60 mg 1X day | 8/12/2014 | 3 | dryness, burning, itching | Too early to tell, but so far none | Wondering if there have been any comparisions to vaginal estrogen creams. Used Estrace for 2 years and it definitely helped. Just recently found Estrace not doing the job so now trying Osphena. Wondering why no comments so far and see little out there in the way of patient reviews. How does this compare with vaginal creams for anyone who has tried both? | F | 62 | 7 days 60 mg 1X day | 7/21/2014 |
