| 3 | severe vaginal atrophy with menopause | depressed mood | certainly helped the atrophy in less than 1 week | F | 55 | 2 months 25 2X W | 5/4/2013 | 2 | Severe vaginal atrophy | None on the 25mcg, but all original symptoms returned when I started the 10mcg | Having successfully used Vagifem 25mcg for 6 years, I started this reduced strength 3 weeks ago and all symptoms and soreness came back. Am very upset. | F | 60 | 3 weeks 10mcg 2X W | 4/15/2013 | 4 | Urinary frequency | Diarrhea , with occasional urinary requency | Has mostly relieved symptoms | F | 53 | 3 months 2X W | 2/27/2013 | 4 | vaginal atrophy at menopause | Not sure, but had a five day "period" about two months after starting Vagifem. Not had period for 8 months prior to this, but could be a coincidence with natural menopause | Satisfied with results so far s symptoms of dryness and urinary frequency have subsided. | F | 53 | 3 months 25 2X W | 2/24/2013 | 1 | vaginal dryness/mild atrophy | mild burning/warmth sensation also moderate to severe pain after insertion which has lasted a few days | I will not use this product again. I now can not use other intravaginal estrogen because of the inflammation. Have to use an estrogen patch. | F | 57 | 4 weeks 10 2X W | 2/20/2013 | 3 | menopause/ vaginal dryness | Hairloss and cramps in my stomach. I will discontinue using this drug not happy at all. | F | 47 | 2 months 10MG 2X W | 2/5/2013 | 5 | slight loss of hair I sometimes get diarreah which seems to make the Vagifem not work as well | After nearly 3 years last October I did the reload of 14 days on advice as Vagifem started failingI Was so scared but with in 2 weeks I felt 100% but as I get the runs badly every now and again I suffer with diarreah and it seems to make Vagifem not work I know this as I get dry with in a few hours and each time I get worried it will fail again im on 25m 2x7 | M | 61 | 3 years 2X W | 1/22/2013 | 3 | Slight vaginal dryness from menopause | Very painful headaches that were constant and negatively affecting my sleep, bloating and hot flashes returned | I noticed a difference after the first day which is why I rated this product a 3. Unfortunately, I can't live with the headaches and the way I felt with just three days usage. This product is scary. I will never use it again! It's been two days since i quite using this and hope it gets out of my system soon so the headaches will go away. | F | 56 | 3 days 10 mg 1X day | 12/7/2012 | 2 | Vaginal burning thinning of skin | Still burning and now have bumps on outside lining of vagina and burning has moved up to anus | F | 70 | 2 weeks 10mcg | 10/26/2012 | 2 | atrophic vaginitis | hair loss | two months in, i noticed hair loss...by the third month, the hair loss was becoming very concerning so I stopped taking the drug...its been over a month now, symptoms are returning and my hair is still falling out...this drug should be out of my system by now...apparently the damage it does, continues on longer...No GYN or pharmacist warned me...nor do i think there was a disclaimer on Vagifem about hair loss...quite displeased! | F | 56 | 3 months 10 2X W | 9/23/2012 | 2 | POF, vaginal atrophy | Massive hair loss | After about a month of taking this, my hair started falling out in large quantities. Shedding, big clumps of hair in my comb every time I combed my hair. Otherwise it did what it was supposed to but I could not handle the hair loss and didn't want to risk the side effects of Rogaine. 3 months after stopping the Vagifem the hair loss has stopped but what's there is still very thin. Very disappointing. If anyone has suggestions on an alternative I'd love to know. | F | 44 | 3 months 25MG 1X day | 9/5/2012 | 1 | Vaginal dryness | I took only 2 doses/10 mg in each dose and developed the most painful burning sensation and intense pain in my breast that was like nothing I had ever felt before. I discontinued the drug therapy after only 2 doses and still have discomfort still after 10 days of not taking it. Not only did I have severe breast pain, but had a headache, pain in my chest and diarrhea. Will never take this drug again. It was scary! | F | 58 | 2 days 10 mg 2X W | 9/4/2012 | 5 | Gynecologist: vaginal walls thin | none | I think that my bladder control is better, and I believe that my vagina is more moist. | F | 69 | 3 months 10 mcg 2X W | 8/18/2012 | 5 | atrophic vaginitis | migraine on first day but I think that this was a coincidence | fixed my problem. returned things to their original state 90%, but it hasn't been that long so I expect more improvement. | F | 46 | 3 weeks 10mg 2X W | 7/22/2012 | 2 | vaginal atrophy | Definitely improves vaginal dryness and no pain during sex. But, I do believe it enters the system. I am extremely bloated and my stomach is extremely distended. Learned it contains lactose and that could be the problem since I am lactose intolerant. I am way too uncomfortable with this distention and will advise my gyn that I am going to stop. | F | 65 | 2 months 10 3X W | 7/12/2012 | 3 | dryness soreness | nausea and vomiting but i think i took too much was doing 2 a day instead of just one | F | 56 | 7 days 10 mg 1X day | 6/20/2012 | 2 | Menopause vaginal dryness | Itching, burning, redness, discharge, (later) skin peel | Although I had hoped this would reverse the symptoms of mild vaginal atrophy and dryness due to menopause, it seems I was sensitive to an ingredient in the medication and this caused several weeks of itching and pain. Local irritation is listed as an adverse effect but I understand from my Dr that my experience was rare. | F | 51 | 5 days 1X day | 6/10/2012 | 5 | vaginal atrophy and burning. | Stomache pain on waking but didn't last long. | As helped tremendously through a difficult stage in menopause.I don't know how women coped before this became available. As helped me to cope with life again. Easy to use no mess. | F | 56 | 3 years 25MG 2X W | 3/20/2012 | 4 | Vaginal Atrophy | Hot flushes returned but manageble | Ive been using it for 18 months it worked wonderfully well It took about 4 months or so to work on all the sypmtoms but I got outside pain relief almost from the first dose Sadly Im finding after 18months its not working as well. It seems to be failing insides fine sex is fine still a bit scared but no pain. Its the wanting to urinate more and general soreness at the vaginal opening seems to be returning? | F | 59 | 2 years 25MG 2X W | 10/27/2011 | 5 | vaginal dryness | I haven't noticed any adverse side-effects at all, unless increased libido is a side effect :) | This amazing little tablet has been a miracle, allowing me to return to my pre-menopausal state. Intercourse is wonderful again, and I think it even helps libido, but it's tough to say because knowing sex won't be uncomfortable definitely helps libido! I sometimes forget to use it, but I remember soon enough when the effects start to wear off! | F | 53 | 2 years not sure 1X W | 10/21/2011 |
