Gina HRT Tablets

Gina HRT Tablets replaces oestrogen locally to help treat vaginal atrophy. As the pessary dissolves, it releases oestrogen into the vaginal walls and surrounding tissues. The oestrogen helps relieve symptoms like dryness, soreness, and itching. With long-term use, Gina HRT Tablets can help restore elasticity and lubrication in the vagina, vulva, and urinary tract by replacing lost oestrogen in these areas.

Each Gina HRT Tablets pack comes with one reusable applicator that should be cleaned after each use. To insert Gina HRT Tablets, first load the pessary into the applicator. Then insert it into your vagina while standing up or lying down, like inserting a tampon.

It is recommended to use Gina HRT Tablets before bedtime so that the pessary can dissolve and release oestrogen overnight. For the first two weeks of treatment, use Gina HRT every evening. After that, most people only need to use it twice weekly, although your healthcare provider may advise using it more often if your symptoms persist. The key is to use Gina HRT Tablets regularly so that it can continually deliver oestrogen to relieve vaginal dryness and discomfort.

You can find the instructions for use in the patient information leaflet, which is included in the box or alternatively, can be accessed online.
