Gina 10 mcg HRT 24 vaginal tablets serve as a localised vaginal hormone replacement therapy aimed at managing vaginal atrophy in women 50 years or older who have been postmenopausal for at least one year. The product's active ingredient is estradiol, a female sex hormone belonging to the oestrogen family. Gina effectively alleviates symptoms associated with menopause, such as vaginal discomfort, dryness, and irritation during intimate contact.

What symptoms or conditions can Gina manage?

Gina is engineered to manage vaginal atrophy that is caused by a deficiency in oestrogen for women who are postmenopausal. It alleviates conditions such as vaginal discomfort, dryness, and irritation during sexual activities.

What advantages can one expect from Gina?

Gina offers effective symptom relief by replenishing the lost oestrogen, thereby aiding in the restoration of vaginal health and mitigating discomfort.

How does Gina work?

Gina administers a minimal dosage of oestrogen directly to the vaginal tissue, addressing the root cause of the dryness while assisting the tissue in regaining its natural moisture and elasticity.

What do scientific studies indicate about Gina?

Studies confirm that vaginal tablets containing estradiol, like Gina, prove effective in managing symptoms of vaginal atrophy by reducing vaginal pH levels and enhancing the maturation of the vaginal lining.

Can Gina address conditions other than symptoms associated with menopausal vaginal health?

Gina is formulated specifically for managing vaginal atrophy due to oestrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women. Utilising it for other conditions requires consultation with a healthcare specialist.

Can the frequency of Gina tablet application be increased for severe symptoms?

Adhering to Gina's prescribed dosage is crucial: one tablet per day for the first two weeks and one tablet twice a week thereafter. Should the symptoms persist or worsen, it is essential to seek advice from a healthcare provider.

Is a prescription necessary for purchasing Gina?

In the UK, Gina can be acquired without a prescription. Nevertheless, purchasers will be queried about their medical background prior to checkout.
