Hello, I have been taking Ovestin cream daily for vaginal dryness for 2 weeks. My question, how long can I continue to take the cream daily and how long afterwards? Can I just stop taking the cream or do I have to continue taking the cream 2x a week? Thanks for a reply Angela

The time and frequency of use of Ovestin should be determined by your doctor. In the presence of atrophic lesions of the lower genitourinary tract, it is recommended to use the drug daily for a maximum of the first 4 weeks, and then gradually reduce the frequency to 1 application 2 times a week.
I am attaching a link that allows you to check the availability of the drug and make a reservation at the pharmacy of your choice:

If you have any doubts about the doctor's recommendations, I encourage you to consult again. You can also take advantage of teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
