Vagifem 10 micrograms Vaginal Tablets are a local estrogen therapy designed to treat vaginal symptoms related to menopause. These symptoms occur when natural estrogen levels decline, leading to thinning of the vaginal lining, dryness, itching, and discomfort. The active ingredient in Vagifem is estradiol, a naturally occurring form of estrogen that helps restore the vaginal tissue.

The tablets are inserted directly into the vagina using an applicator, where they release estrogen in a controlled and targeted manner. This delivery method limits the amount of hormone circulating in the rest of the body while focusing relief where it is needed most.
