About Blissel Gel

Blissel vaginal gel contains the active ingredient estriol, developed to treat symptoms of vaginal atrophy due to menopause. Estriol replenishes estrogen levels in the vaginal tissues, helping to restore a normal vaginal environment and prevent symptoms such as dryness, itching, burning, and painful intercourse by promoting the regeneration of the vaginal epithelium and maintaining vaginal health.

Blissel Gel is a prescription-only medication and may be recommended when other topical treatments have not been effective or are not well tolerated. 

NowPatient offers Blissel Gel as a treatment for vaginal atrophy due to menopause, following an online consultation with a prescriber.
