Evalon Cream 15 gm

Evalon Cream is used to relieve menopausal symptoms such as vaginal atrophy (vaginal dryness or irritation). It is used before/after vaginal surgery to help wound healing. Vaginal atrophy occurs due to a drop in the levels of oestrogen that naturally happens after menopause.

Evalon Cream contains ‘estriol’, which works by replacing the oestrogen that is normally produced by the ovaries. Thus it provides relief from discomfort, dryness or irritation in the vagina.

In some cases, you may experience side effects such as itching, irritation of the skin around the vagina, swollen, tender, or painful breasts, headache, and nausea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Avoid using Evalon Cream if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Stop using Evalon Cream and consult a doctor if you notice jaundice, a large rise in blood pressure, migraine, if you become pregnant or if you notice any signs of a blood clot such as sudden chest pain, difficulty breathing, painful swelling and redness of the legs. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.

• Evalon Cream is for vaginal use only.
• It is usually applied once daily at bedtime for up to 4 weeks or as prescribed by your doctor.
• Check the label for directions before using this medication.
• Remove the cap, screw the applicator onto the tube, and squeeze to fill it with cream. Lie down and gently insert the tip of the applicator deep into your vagina, and press the plunger to release the cream.
