WHAT IS VAGINAL ESTROGEN?

Vaginal estrogen is the most effective treatment for symptoms of vulvar and vaginal atrophy caused by menopause.

Because it addresses estrogen loss, the root of the problem, you can treat the cause of painful sex during menopause.

That’s why we’ve designed IMVEXXY to be a bio-identical, localized estrogen in ultra-low dose.*

BIO-IDENTICAL

Bio-identical is just a way of saying it was made to mimic your body’s
own estrogen.*

*Bio-identical hormones are hormones that are structurally identical to the hormones your body produces naturally. It is not known if there is a difference in risks between synthetic hormones and bio-identical hormones.

LOCALIZED

Because IMVEXXY is inserted directly into your vagina, the estrogen works where it’s actually needed.* It's not a pill.

*The clinical relevance of systemic absorption rates for all vaginal estrogen therapies is not known. Systemic absorption may occur with IMVEXXY. The risks associated with systemic estrogen therapy should be considered.

ULTRA LOW DOSE

If you’re thinking about starting estrogen, choose IMVEXXY, which is the ONLY ultra-low dose option in a softgel insert—in fact, it’s the lowest dose vaginal estrogen out there.

Important Risk Information

WARNING: ENDOMETRIAL CANCER, CARDIOVASCULAR DISORDERS, PROBABLE DEMENTIA and BREAST CANCER

See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning.


Estrogen-Alone Therapy

  • There is an increased risk of endometrial cancer in a woman with a uterus who uses unopposed estrogens
  • The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) estrogen-alone substudy reported increased risks of stroke and deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
  • The WHI Memory Study (WHIMS) estrogen-alone ancillary study of WHI reported an increased risk of probable dementia in postmenopausal women 65 years of age and older
  • Do not use estrogen-alone therapy for the prevention of cardiovascular disease or dementia

Estrogen Plus Progestin Therapy

  • The WHI estrogen plus progestin substudy reported increased risks of stroke, DVT, pulmonary embolism (PE) and myocardial infarction (MI)
  • The WHI estrogen plus progestin substudy reported increased risks of invasive breast cancer
  • The WHIMS estrogen plus progestin ancillary study of WHI reported an increased risk of probable dementia in postmenopausal women 65 years of age and older
  • Do not use estrogen plus progestogen therapy for the prevention of cardiovascular disease or dementia

The WHI estrogen-alone and estrogen plus progestin substudies evaluated only daily oral conjugated estrogens (CE) [0.625 mg] and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) [2.5 mg]. Therefore, the relevance of the WHI findings regarding adverse cardiovascular events, dementia, and breast cancer to lower CE and MPA doses, other routes of administration, or other estrogen-alone or estrogen plus progestogen products is not known, and cannot be definitively excluded or determined.

MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IMVEXXY(an estrogen hormone)

  • Using estrogen-alone may increase your chance of getting cancer of the uterus (womb).
  • Report any unusual vaginal bleeding right away while you are using IMVEXXY. Vaginal bleeding after menopause may be a warning sign of cancer of the uterus (womb). Your healthcare provider should check any unusual vaginal bleeding to find out the cause.
  • Do not use estrogen-alone to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, or dementia (decline of brain function).
  • Using estrogen-alone may increase your chances of getting strokes or blood clots.
  • Using estrogen-alone may increase your chance of getting dementia, based on a study of women 65 years of age and older.
  • Do not use estrogens with progestogens to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, strokes or dementia.
  • Using estrogens with progestogens may increase your chance of getting dementia, based on a study of women 65 years of age and older.
  • Only one estrogen-alone product and dose have been shown to increase your chances of getting strokes, blood clots, and dementia. Only one estrogen with progestogen product and dose have been shown to increase your chances of getting heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer, blood clots, and dementia. Because other products and doses have not been studied in the same way, it is not known how the use of IMVEXXY will affect your chances of having these conditions.
  • Talk to your healthcare provider regularly about whether you still need treatment with IMVEXXY.
