ESTRING Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is ESTRING?
ESTRING is the brand name for estradiol and is available as a vaginal ring.
What dosages is ESTRING available in?
ESTRING is available as a vaginal ring that releases estradiol, approximately 7.5 mcg per 24 hours, in a consistent stable manner over 90 days.
What is ESTRING used for?
ESTRING is an estrogen replacement and is used to treat vaginal dryness, burning, and irritation due to menopause.
How does ESTRING work?
ESTRING is an estrogen replacement that slowly releases a steady amount of estrogen to your vagina over 3 months. Your body makes a lot less estrogen during menopause, which can cause thinning of your vaginal walls. This can lead symptoms, such as vaginal dryness, burning, and irritation. Replacing estrogen helps relieve these menopausal symptoms.
How do I take ESTRING?
ESTRING is dosed as 1 ring inserted into your vagina as far as it can comfortably go. Remove and insert a new ring every 3 months.
