Vaginal HRT that helps moisturise your vagina.
Imvaggis is a vaginal HRT that treats symptoms like vaginal dryness. When your oestrogen levels decrease during menopause, your vagina can feel irritated, dry and painful.
And that’s where vaginal oestrogen like Imvaggis comes in. To order Imvaggis, simply answer a few questions online, and we’ll recommend personalised treatments just for you.
Imvaggis is a treatment for vaginal symptoms of menopause, such as dryness and irritation. It works locally to increase oestrogen levels in your vagina. Vaginal dryness can affect both menopausal and non-menopausal women, but it’s most commonly seen during and after menopause. This is because it’s usually caused by decreased oestrogen levels, which happens during menopause, but other factors like dehydration, lack of blood flow to the vaginal walls, and stress also contribute to it.
Vaginal dryness is mainly treated using hormonal treatments. However, hormonal medication is only a temporary fix. Once you stop using it, your symptoms will return unless your body starts to produce more oestrogen.
Imvaggis contains estriol, a synthetic version of oestrogen. It's ‘bioidentical’ to the oestrogen naturally produced by your body. Bioidentical hormones have proven to be more effective than non-bioidentical ones.
Vaginal dryness is often caused by an oestrogen deficiency. So by increasing the amount of oestrogen in your vagina, Imvaggis can help moisten it, maintain its lining and retain its elasticity. It can also help prevent infection by restoring and maintaining vaginal pH, which helps to reduce bacterial growth and urinary tract infections.
There’s only a 0.03mg dose of Imvaggis available. It's used daily for three weeks, followed by twice a week till the end of the treatment course.

Imvaggis contains the hormone estriol, which is administered through a dissolvable pessary inserted into your vagina. To use Imvaggis, follow the instructions below:
Repeat the steps daily, preferably in the evening before bedtime, for three weeks. After three weeks, insert one pessary twice a week.
Imvaggis starts to work within a couple of hours, but it’ll probably take a few weeks to months to see the full effects. It's important to keep using it, even if your symptoms improve. Usually symptoms come back once you stop using hormonal treatment, to help with this, your clinician may gradually reduce the dosage for you.
If you accidentally use too many pessaries, don't panic. While you may experience vaginal bleeding for a few days or feel sick, it won't cause any serious health complications. However, it's best to still phone a doctor for advice.
If you forget to use Imvaggis during the first three weeks (during daily use), skip the missed dose. Don’t use a double dose to make up for a missed one. But if you miss a dose after three weeks (when it’s used bi-weekly), use it another day instead.
