Femiest Dosage/Direction for Use

Femiest is administered intravaginally as a local oestrogen therapy by use of an applicator.
Initial dose: One vaginal tablet daily for two weeks.
Maintenance dose: One vaginal tablet twice a week.
Treatment may be started on any convenient day.
If a dose is forgotten, it should be taken as soon as the patient remembers. A double dose should be avoided.
For initiation and continuation of treatment of postmenopausal symptoms, the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration (see also Precautions) should be used.
For oestrogen products for vaginal application of which the systemic exposure to the oestrogen remains within the normal postmenopausal range, such as Femiest, it is not recommended to add a progestagen (but see Endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma under Precautions).
Femiest may be used in women with or without an intact uterus.
Vaginal infections should be treated before start of the Femiest therapy.
Administration: 1. Open the blister pack at the plunger end.
2. Insert the applicator in the vagina until resistance is met (8-10 cm).
3. Release the tablet by pressing the plunger.
4. Withdraw the applicator and discard.
