Imvaggis is a low dose vaginal pessary that contains oestrogen which is only used locally inside the vagina. It comes with an applicator to help with insertion. It is used every night at first, for 3 weeks, then the dose reduces slowly to twice weekly. Vaginal oestrogen is very safe, with studies showing it is only absorbed into the body for a very short time at the start of use, in fact, an entire year's supply of vaginal oestrogen is equivalent to just 1 oral oestrogen HRT tablet. The leaflet contained in the packet of vaginal oestrogen is the same leaflet used in oral and patch oestrogen and does not fully apply to vaginal use. Large studies have shown there is no increased risk of cancer when using vaginal oestrogen. Women who have had breast cancer may also use vaginal oestrogen, but only after a discussion with their oncology specialist. Imvaggis pessaries can damage condoms, so please use alternative contraception.
