ESTRACE  (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: 1993-06-30 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  HRT/vaginal dryness No negative side effects If you are taking this for vaginal dryness in particular, I would STRONGLY recommend checking into FemRing, which is a flexible ring inserted vaginally every three months that delivers a measured dosage of estrogen. FAR superior to the messy creams! I would still be on FemRing if my Rx coverage had not stopped covering it. F 54 3 months

 5  Thinning vulvar tissue Some burning at beginning of treatment. Was less each time I sued the cream. I was happy to try this. I'm not going into menopause. I had VERY thin tissue in my vulvar area after use of other medications. This really worked for me. F 29 30 days

 4  HRT after hysterectomy Headaches if I didn't stay to a schedule. Helping a lot after trying patches for 3 years. Easy to take with me, I don't have to worry about patches coming off and it is a lot cheaper than patches. F 52 2 weeks

 5  FOR HRT None at all, it took a few weeks to kick in for hot flashes etc. Initially a tiny weenie bit of breast tenderness which quickly left. I've been on it for 12 years (oral and topical cream form) and absolutely wouldn't trust anything else being it's the natural bio-identical estradiol we produce our whole lives, as well as the cream totally restored the vaginal tissue using it even only topically. I love it personally. F 57 12 years

 5  hormone replacement therapy none This really helped smooth out the perimenopausal symptoms. What a great alternative to those synthetic hormones (in birth control pills) that had unending side effects! F 45 5 years
