How to use vaginal estrogen tablets properly?
Vaginal estrogen tablets should be inserted high into the vagina using the provided applicator, usually once daily for two weeks, then reduced to twice weekly as maintenance, or as prescribed.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Start by washing your hands and removing the tablet from its packaging. Place the tablet in the applicator and insert it gently into the vagina, as far as comfortable, while lying down or standing with one leg raised. Follow your doctor’s instructions—most start with daily use for 2 weeks, then twice weekly. Do not miss doses for best results. NHS: Estradiol Vaginal Tablets.
