How to use VAGIFEM^®

Using VAGIFEM^® is easy. Using one pre-loaded, single-use applicator, gently insert a VAGIFEM^® tablet into your vagina daily for the first two weeks. After that, insert one tablet two times a week or as directed by your healthcare professional. VAGIFEM^® can be inserted at any time of the day, but should be inserted at the same time every day.

VAGIFEM^® works very quickly. After you start VAGIFEM^® usage, your symptoms may begin improving within the first two weeks. However, it may take up to seven weeks of use to feel the full benefits of the medication.
