Hi ..have been prescribed vagifem but only 24 of them. Was told to take 2 a week but because I had not been getting on with ovestin and had left off treating my dry vagina I think I needed to do a reload of 14 days and then 2 a week. Have been using 4 a week which is just about having an effect. Had a UTI and still painful. Am thinking of getting a private prescription on line as afraid doc wont give me anyomre.
Has anyone here done this and had to get online vagifem for fear of running out. Sorry I am rambling. Have come to wits end with these symptons.x :'(

Onlinepharmacy are very good
But first off I'd chat with your dr and explain. It's such a low dose there's no reason why they shouldn't prescribe you an extra box

Thank you Anniexx

Sometimes GPs don't put a 'repeat' request until they know how the patient gets on with the product. So give your Surgery a ring and ask for it to be put onto 'repeat' "because I have gained benefit" - do a re-load and you may require use every night for a while until the vagina has taken up the treatment. It used to be 25mg .......... which seemed to suit most ladies. Then 'they' changed it to 10mg >:(

They don't offer, you have to ask but by right you can have what you need. I get 2 boxes at a time on repeat and use it every other night, wouldn't be without it now :)
