Evalon 15 gm

Description

💊 Evalon 15 gm Product Description

Evalon 15 gm is a specialized topical hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) containing Estriol, a naturally occurring form of the female hormone estrogen. It is primarily used to alleviate local symptoms associated with vaginal atrophy, often occurring during or after menopause.

Mechanism of Action: Estriol works by replenishing the estrogen levels in the vaginal tissues. Unlike systemic estrogens, Evalon acts locally to restore the normal vaginal epithelium, improve pH balance, and increase the resistance of vaginal mucosal cells to infection and inflammation.

Key Benefits:

• Relieves Vaginal Dryness: Effectively restores moisture and elasticity to the vaginal lining.
• Reduces Discomfort: Alleviates symptoms of itching, burning, and painful intercourse (dyspareunia).
• Prevents Recurrent Infections: Helps maintain a healthy vaginal environment, reducing the frequency of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and vaginal thinning.
• Localized Action: Provides targeted relief with minimal systemic absorption compared to oral hormonal tablets.

🛡️ Precautions

Is Evalon 15 gm Right for You?

Before using Evalon, consult your healthcare provider if you have a history of undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, blood clots (thrombosis), estrogen-dependent tumors, or severe liver disease. It is not intended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

DO NOT STOP SUDDENLY: Abruptly discontinuing hormonal therapy can cause a recurrence of symptoms. Always follow a tapering schedule or discontinuation plan as directed by your physician to ensure hormonal stability.
