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)

 4  Severe Vaginal dryness Weight Gain!! I have gained 10 lbs in the 6 months on Vagifem. Absolutely nothing else has changed in my eating and exercise habits. Weight Gain is not a listed side effect but it definitely should be included!! Has anyone else experienced unexplained weight gain since starting Vagifem? Vagifem has definitely relieved the vaginal dryness. I have yet to determine if it is worth the weight gain. However, the intimacy with my husband has returned to what it was before menopause. That, for sure, is blessing! F 55 6 months

 5  vaginal atrophy bloating, some mood changes, weight gain. This has been surprisingly wonderful, all uncomfortable symptoms have gone. Feel like myself, no pressure of everything falling out, no need to rush to washroom. I would like to try only once a week to avoid side effects if possible, I am very tiny 85lbs and this one size fits all, I question. Any suggestions would be appreciated. F 69 3 weeks

 5  Vaginal dryness If I forget to insert tablet I will get nighttime hot flush, but if I take it as prescribed there is not a problem. Sensitive nipples. I feel this drug has enabled me to fully enjoy sexual intercourse. I feel very well on it and have no plans to stop. I would really recommend this for dryness, before I was prescribed this I tried many gels and lubricants with no real effect. F 58 2 years

 4  Vaginal atrophy, euretha pain Experienced side effects which lessened each week until now it's maybe little hair loss (which could also be from low ferritin). The side effects in the first 2-3 weeks were off and on abdominal cramping, diarrhea, some sleepiness, spotting twice. Another side effect that continues is light colored discharge off and on. Pain and soreness is gone. Read the common side effects. If they happen, most should disappear within the first month. Takes patience getting used to this treatment. F 60 7 months

 1  vaginal atrophy severe back pain developed after first day plus extremely painful stomach cramps and pain in leg and breasts. Way too many side effects for me and have discontinued using it after 4 days as the pains are getting more severe and worried about the consequences if I keep on taking product. Have noticed that product has started to ease vaginal dryness but not worth it for me due to side effects. Pain in back so bad that I could hardly get out of bed and could not bend down. 2 days since stopped using and back pain has subsided however still have stomach pain. F 53 4 days

 1  Vaginal dryness Increasingly severe headaches, pain in lower legs, acne on body, insomnia, weight gain for no other reason. Vagifem relieved the vaginal dryness to some degree but I had also to use lubrication. In the end the side effects became so bad and far outweighed the benefits, so I have stopped using it.

 5  UTIs, vaginal dryness and pressure None Made life worth living again. I had constant urinary tract infections, always felt I needed to pee, had vaginal soreness and it felt as though something was bulging out of my vagina (though nothing was). The discomfort really took the joy out of life. I tried using the 10 strength when the 25 was no longer available but it didn't work.All the symptoms returned, so I started using two 10s and things are great again. F 73 4 years
