Title: Ovestin v vagifem
Post by: Tingly on August 30, 2013, 07:58:17 PM

Hi there,
Am awaiting a bladder and pelvis scan next week due to urinary probs.
Have read a few times on this board that vagifem is better for va than ovestin but when i asked the doc she said they do the same job but vagifem is not as messy.
I know they have different ingredients
So vagifem is estradiol 10 mgs and ovestin is estriol 0.1 per cent 1 mg is 1g( whatever that means)

So in the words of harry hill... Ovestin or vagifem...which is best!!!!

I have always used Vagifem so can't compare the two but I do know that Vagifem is more expensive for the practice to prescribe.
