VAGIFEM  (ESTRADIOL):  This medication is a female hormone (estrogen). It is used by women to help reduce vaginal symptoms of menopause (such as vaginal dryness/burning/itching). These symptoms are caused by the body making less estrogen. When treating only vaginal symptoms of menopause, products applied directly inside the vagina (such as this medication) should be used first. Estrogens that are taken by mouth, absorbed through the skin, or injected may have greater risks of side effects due to more estrogen being absorbed.   FDA Approval Date: 1999-03-26 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  vaginal atrophy I took the first one 6 days ago and immediately there was slight creamy vaginal discharge. I have not taken one since and the discharge just gets worse. I also feel a bit fatter. I went to the GP because of odd blood spotting. Scan revealed nothing to worry about. Menopause over - 10 years ago. I am not sexually active so the dryness doesn't bother me. GP prescribed this horror drug. I'm binning it. I hate sticky knickers. F 61 1 days

 5  Painful bladder and uretha Slight anxiety like feelings the first few day's, but quickly settled down. I had been suffering for about a year, with constant pain and irritation of the bladder. While I did not have frequency or urgency problems, it felt as my bladder was always full, Then after urinating my uretha would suffer wave's of searing pain,I was utterly miserable and having to take time off from work,and turn down social invitation's etc. Repeated uti test's showed nothing ...yet still trying various antibiotics..which only seemed to make it worse. Finally my doc gave me Vagifem. It was a godsend...it started to work almost instantly...my bladder settled down within a week and after two week's felt normal again...I now take it twice a week and at last I now have my life back.

 1  Vaginal dryness After just two applications I started having cramps that would not go away and vaginal itching. I went to my ob and will be getting a pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound just to make sure all is okay since I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer 2 years ago. She wants to make sure the pain is not from anything else. Threw this garbage and poisonous medication away. Don't bother taking it. It's just another medication made by a position mill just like all the other garbage they make only to give us more symptoms so we have to take more medication. Remember one of the side effects of this is dementia! How the hell do u get this from this medication? Just another drug on the long list of drugs that pharma makes to poison the population. Don't forget they also make the pesticides that poison our food, air and water and supposedly they make wonder drugs, and they r believed to be the people behind the recent murder and disappearance of seven doctors in the U.S. and Mexico.

 4  Vaginal atropy and bladder prolapse pelvic cramps and breast tenderness only during first few weeks but now settled and no side effects to date. Severe atropy much improved and soreness and burning gone, still working on prolapse with kegals and therapy. Not a quick fix but better than the alternative - surgery. Started exercising again and my life is starting to get back to normal after months of struggling just to sit comfortably. F 59 3 months

 3  Bladder Infections Explosive, soupy diarrhea every morning. Fatigue that continued to worsen. Redness on skin that ended with a red rash covering 60% of my body - was eventually diagnosed with amyopathic dermatomyositis. I can't prove that Vagifem caused my Dermatomyositis but I am 66 years old and didn't have any signs of this disease until I started Vagifem. Over the 2 years I was on Vagifem my skin slowly worsened. I now am taking Methotrexate to get rid of the rash. Vagifem did keep away all bladder infections while I was taking it which was absolutely wonderful. F 66 2 years
