Yuvafem is a form of estrogen hormone used by women to improve menopausal vaginal symptoms such as vaginal dryness, burning, and itching. To ensure effectiveness, patients need to take the drug exactly as directed by the doctor or pharmacist.
1. What does Yuvafem do?
Yuvafem, also known as estradiol, is a form of estrogen hormone used by women to improve vaginal symptoms of menopause, such as dryness, burning and vaginal itching. The above symptoms are a sign of menopause due to the body making less estrogen. Estrogen used orally, through the skin or injection may be more at risk of side effects due to more estrogen intake, so first use products placed, applied directly inside the vagina.
2. How to use Yuvafem
Yuvafem is available as a round, white, film-coated tablet for vaginal insertion. Gently insert the tablet as directed and press the plunger to release the medication. Dosage is based on the patient's medical condition and response to treatment, usually once daily for the first two weeks and twice weekly thereafter.
Use Yuvafem regularly for optimal benefit. Do not increase the dose or use it for longer than prescribed. This will not improve the condition and increases the risk of adverse effects.
3. Unwanted effects when using Yuvafem
Some undesirable effects that may occur when using Yuvafem include: nausea or vomiting, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, chest tightness, headache, and weight changes. Serious side effects: mental status changes (such as depression or dementia), breast lumps, unusual vaginal bleeding (such as sudden, recurrent, or excessive bleeding), increased or new irritation, itching, odor, and vaginal discharge, stomach pain, persistent nausea, yellow eyes, dark urine, swelling of the hands or ankles, and increased urination.
Yuvafem rarely causes serious problems with blood clots such as heart attack, stroke, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism. However, if you develop any symptoms such as unusual sweating, chest pain spreading to your arm, sudden severe headache, weakness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, confusion, sudden vision changes (such as partial or complete blindness), pain or redness and swelling in the legs, tingling or weakness, numbness in the limbs, coughing up blood, trouble breathing, dizziness, or sudden fainting, seek immediate medical attention.
Before prescribing Yuvafem, doctors weigh the benefits against the risks of side effects. However, unwanted effects may still occur. Therefore, if unusual signs appear, especially if a severe allergic reaction occurs with symptoms such as difficulty breathing, severe dizziness, rash, itching, or swelling of the face, throat, or tongue, immediately notify medical staff.
4. Some notes when using Yuvafem
Some notes when using Yuvafem include:
Report a history of allergy to Yuvafem or any other allergies. Yuvafem may contain ingredients that do not work well and could cause an allergic reaction or other serious problems.
Report your medical history, especially any unexplained vaginal bleeding, certain cancers (such as breast, uterine, or ovarian cancer), blood clots, stroke, heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, family medical history (such as cancer, breast tumors, blood clots), family or personal history of angioedema, blood clotting disorder (such as protein C or protein S deficiency), high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol or triglycerides, obesity, lupus, hypothyroidism, mineral imbalances (high or low blood calcium), uterine fibroids or endometriosis, gallbladder disease, asthma, epilepsy, migraine headaches, mental disorders (such as depression or dementia), or porphyria.
Avoid smoking or tobacco use. Smoking increases estrogen levels, which increases the risk of stroke, blood clots, high blood pressure, and heart attack, especially in women over 35.
Tell your doctor if you have had surgery or are immobile for a long time (such as during a long flight).
These conditions increase the risk of blood clots, especially when using an estrogen product. You may need to stop taking Yuvafem temporarily or take special precautions.
Yuvafem may cause melasma and increased sun sensitivity. Limit direct sunlight exposure, use sunscreen regularly, and take other protective measures.
If you are nearsighted or wear contact lenses, you may experience vision problems. Contact your ophthalmologist if eye problems occur. Yuvafem should not be used during pregnancy or lactation, as it may reduce quality and quantity.

A few tests, such as blood pressure, breast exam, mammogram, pelvic exam, and cervical smear, will monitor your progress and check for side effects. Perform daily breast exams at home as directed by your doctor. Preventing or controlling high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes can help reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Lifestyle changes that can help control or prevent these conditions include reducing stress, eating a low-fat, low-salt diet, losing weight if overweight, exercising regularly, and stopping smoking. Keep your mind active with mental exercises (such as reading, solving crossword puzzles) to help prevent dementia. Yuvafem can be harmful if swallowed or taken in excess. If you miss a dose of Yuvafem, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue as scheduled. Do not double the dose. Overdosing on Yuvafem can cause serious symptoms such as nausea, severe vomiting, and abnormal vaginal bleeding.
5. Drug interactions
Drug interactions can reduce the effect of Yuvafem or increase unwanted effects. Tell your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter medications, prescriptions, vitamins, and herbal products. Do not stop, start, or change the dose of any medicine without your doctor's approval.
Some drugs that may interact with Yuvafem include: aromatase inhibitors (anastrozole, exemestane, letrozole), fulvestrant, ospemifene, raloxifene, tamoxifen, toremifene, and tranexamic acid.
Yuvafem may interfere with certain laboratory tests and lead to erroneous results. Inform medical staff and doctors that you are using Yuvafem.
6. How to Store Yuvafem
Store Yuvafem at room temperature, away from light and moisture. Do not store it in a humid place or in the freezer. Read the storage instructions on the packaging or ask your pharmacist. Keep Yuvafem out of the reach of children and pets. Dispose of it properly when it is no longer usable or expired. Do not dispose of Yuvafem in the environment unless instructed. Consult your waste disposal company or pharmacist for safe disposal.
In short, Yuvafem is an estrogen hormone used to improve menopausal vaginal symptoms such as vaginal dryness, burning, and itching. However, Yuvafem can cause unwanted effects and drug interactions, so tell your doctor about all medications you are taking to reduce the risk of side effects and increase treatment effectiveness.
