How Vagirux pessaries work

The oestrogen in these pessaries works locally in the vagina and very little is absorbed into the bloodstream. This has several benefits:

• Treats symptoms where they occur.
• Lower risk than full systemic HRT.
• No need to take additional progestogen.

How to use Vagirux vaginal oestrogen pessaries

Initial use: Insert one pessary tablet every night for 2 weeks.
Maintenance use: Insert one pessary tablet twice a week (every 3-4 days).

1. The pessary is inserted at the top of the vagina using a small applicator.
2. Vagirux comes with a reusable applicator — load the pessary each time, wash and dry the applicator after use, and replace it after 24 uses.
3. Insert like a tampon and press the plunger until you hear/feel a click. The pessary dissolves and releases oestrogen where it's needed.

Who can use Vagirux?

• Suitable for most women with menopausal vaginal and urinary symptoms.
• Can be used alone or alongside systemic HRT.
• Although the risk is much lower than full HRT, women advised not to use systemic HRT should speak to their GP before using these pessaries.
• A short online medical questionnaire with Dr Fox ensures treatment is suitable.

Vagurix interactions with other medicines

• Vagirux is not expected to interact with other medications.
• If using other vaginal products (creams, pessaries, gels), use them at a different time of day.
• Pessaries do not affect condoms, unlike many creams and gels.

Possible side effects of Vagirux

These can include:

• Mild irritation if the applicator is used roughly.
• Headache, abdominal discomfort, vaginal discharge, spotting, or soreness.

Stop and seek medical advice immediately if you notice:

• Signs of an allergic reaction.
• Yellowing of eyes or skin (jaundice).
• Severe headache or migraine.
• Swelling in one leg, chest pain, or breathing difficulties (possible blood clot).
• High blood pressure.
• Pregnancy.

Important: If you experience vaginal bleeding after the first three months of use, contact your GP for a review.

Further details are in the manufacturer's patient information leaflet (PIL).
