Estrace Vaginal Cream
Estrace Vaginal Cream Drug Center
Pharmacy Editor: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Estrace vaginal cream is an estrogen preparation for topical application to the vaginal area. It contains 0.01% estradiol, an estrogen, and is used to treat certain symptoms of menopause such as dryness, burning, and itching of the vaginal area and urgency or irritation with urination.
Estradiol increases the risk of developing a condition (endometrial hyperplasia) that may lead to cancer of the lining of the uterus. Treatment with estradiol long-term may increase the risk of stroke. Because of this risk, you should contact your doctor or healthcare provider to discuss your individual risks and benefits before taking estradiol long-term. Overdosage of estrogen may cause nausea and vomiting, and withdrawal bleeding may occur in females. It is not indicated for pregnant women.
Our Estrace vaginal cream Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information as well as related drugs, user reviews, supplements, and diseases, and condition.

Estrace Vaginal Cream Consumer Information: Uses
This medication is a female hormone. It is used by women to help reduce vaginal symptoms of menopause (such as vaginal dryness/burning/itching). These symptoms are caused by the body making less estrogen. When treating only vaginal symptoms of menopause, products applied directly inside the vagina (such as this medication) should be used first. Estrogens that are taken by mouth, absorbed through the skin, or injected may have greater risks of side effects due to more estrogen being absorbed.
