Vagifem is a local estrogen therapy used to treat symptoms of vaginal atrophy, such as:
It contains estradiol, a natural form of estrogen, delivered in a low dose directly to the vaginal tissue via a small pessary (tablet).
Unlike systemic HRT, Vagifem works locally — meaning very little estrogen is absorbed into the bloodstream, making it suitable for many women who can’t use full-body hormone replacement therapy.
Replenishes lost estrogen in vaginal tissues
Helps restore natural moisture and elasticity
Reduces irritation and discomfort within 2–4 weeks
Typically used daily for 2 weeks, then twice weekly for ongoing relief
Vagifem may be right for you if:
Vagifem is not a contraceptive and is not suitable during pregnancy. Our doctors will review your full health history before prescribing.
Most women begin to notice improvements within the first two weeks of using Vagifem, with maximum benefits typically observed after approximately four to six weeks of regular use.
If you’ve previously had breast cancer, you should consult your doctor before using Vagifem. Our smartscripts.ie doctors carefully review your medical history during your online consultation to ensure it’s safe and suitable for you.
Vagifem can usually be safely used alongside systemic Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). However, it’s essential to inform your doctor in your medical intake form if you’re taking other hormone treatments so that they can provide tailored advice specific to your needs.
Vagifem is generally very well-tolerated. However, some women may experience mild side effects such as vaginal discharge, itching, or mild irritation. If these symptoms persist or worsen, please don’t hesitate to contact our medical team or your general practitioner.
Vaginal dryness doesn’t need to be something you just “put up with.” With smartscripts, you can get effective, localised treatment, privately, quickly, and without the wait.
