Thing is(as an ex pharmacy dispenser) the pharmacy can only go by what dosage is on your repeat,it HAS to be the Dr that changes the dosage on the prescription,then the pharmacy will give you it as and when

The problem, Jaypo, is the NP did write daily but apparently the pharmacist argued with her and told her the dosage is 2 weeks daily and then ONLY 2x a week.  As she is not overly familiar with vagifem, she went with their recommendations.  It better be changed 2day or all hell is gonna break loose.  Men can buy testosterone and viagra over the counter but women...well we're not smart enough.  Makes me LIVID.

Whatsupwiththis. sorry didn't realise you were in Canada 

We can now buy Vagifem over the counter here in the UK under the name Gina. I had a quick look at the leaflet, and it says that you can keep upping the maintenance dosage if the two a week is not enough. I think we can say that it's a very safe medication, but it shouldn't be up to us to have to tell those who should know better.
