Estrace Cream Use and Dosage
Estrace cream is a synthetic female hormone. It is used by women to help reduce vaginal symptoms such as burning, itching or vaginal dryness. Estrace cream benefits include reduction of menopause symptoms and allowing women to produce estrogen.
When treating only vaginal symptoms, it is better to apply products directly inside the vagina as estrogens taken orally may get absorbed through the skin and increase the risk of side effects.
You can purchase Estrace cream online from Canada Pharmacy.
Directions
Use Estrace vaginal cream as directed by your physician. Fill the applicator with the drug as directed and then insert this applicator inside your vagina as high as it can go. Once it is settled, press the plunger and allow the medication to release.
Make sure to clean the applicator with warm and soapy water and rinse it well. Do not use hot water to clean the applicator or boil it.
The dosage of this drug depends on the severity of your medical condition and your response to treatment. Use this drug regularly to get more benefits.
