Evalon Cream 15 g (Estriol)

Introduction About Evalon Cream 15 g (Estriol)

Evalon Cream 15 g (Estriol) is a vaginal estrogen cream formulated for individuals experiencing daily discomfort from menopause and reduced estrogen levels.

If vaginal dryness, irritation, burning, or pain during intimacy impacts your comfort, sleep, relationships, or confidence, you are not alone.

These symptoms commonly arise from genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), also referred to as vaginal atrophy or atrophic vaginitis.

What Evalon Cream is and what it’s used for

Evalon contains estriol, a form of estrogen used in some countries for localized (vaginal) estrogen therapy. The goal is direct: restore the health of vaginal tissue that has become thin, dry, and easily irritated when estrogen levels decrease.

For many, irritation presents as:

• Vaginal dryness or a “raw” feeling
• Burning, itching, or tenderness
• Discomfort with sex
• Light spotting after irritation (this should still be medically reviewed)
• Recurrent vaginal discomfort that does not improve with moisturizers alone

How it works

Evalon Cream administers estrogen directly to vaginal tissue. When estrogen is deficient, the vaginal lining loses moisture and elasticity. Local estrogen helps the tissue become more hydrated and resilient over time.

Some individuals notice improvement within weeks; for others, results take longer. For severe symptoms, your prescriber may initiate a more frequent schedule, then shift to maintenance.

How to use it

Use Evalon Cream strictly as prescribed. Dosing schedules are tailored based on symptoms, medical history, and the estriol concentration in your tube. Many clinicians recommend an “initial phase” followed by a “maintenance phase,” but you should adhere to your specific directions rather than a standard plan.

Practical tips that many people find helpful:

• Apply at the same time of day to stay consistent.
• Use only the amount prescribed. More is not always better with hormones.
• If symptoms do not improve, avoid increasing the dose on your own. Consult your clinician for guidance.

Side Effects

Local estrogen products are generally well tolerated, though side effects can occur. Contact your healthcare professional if anything feels unusual or persistent. Potential side effects include:

• Mild vaginal irritation, stinging, or itching when starting
• Increased discharge
• Breast tenderness or spotting (needs medical review)
• Headache or nausea (less common with local use, but possible)

Who should be careful with estriol cream?

• Unexplained vaginal bleeding
• Breast cancer or other estrogen-dependent cancers
• Blood clots, stroke, or clotting disorders
• Significant liver disease
• Pregnancy (vaginal estrogen is not meant for pregnancy)
