Gina Vaginal Tablets Pack of 24

Gina is indicated for the treatment of vaginal atrophy due to oestrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women aged 50+, who have not had a period for at least one year.

Gina is a local oestrogen therapy that is gradually released directly into the vagina. Gina treats and relieves vaginal symptoms like dryness, soreness, itching and burning after the menopause.

Gina is a tablet for vaginal use only.

Each vaginal tablet comes preloaded in a single-use applicator.

Using intravaginal applicators can sometimes cause minor injury in your vagina, especially if inserted or removed without care or if your vaginal atrophy (thinning) is severe. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist if you experience any difficulties with using the vaginal applicator, as your doctor may be able to prescribe another vaginal oestrogen preparation that is more suitable for you.

How much to use:

• Initial dose: Use one vaginal tablet each day for the first 2 weeks of treatment
• Maintenance Dose: Use one vaginal tablet twice a week. Leave 3 or 4 days between each dose

You can use it at any time of the day, but you should try and use it at the same time for each application.

Keep out of the sight and reach of children.

Not suitable for those aged under 50 years of age.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if any vaginal infection develops while you are using Gina.

Stop using Gina immediately and seek prompt advice from your doctor if you notice any of the following during treatment:

• You develop any of the conditions listed in the above section ‘Do not use Gina’.
• You develop any new vaginal bleeding, spotting or itching.
• If you have endometriosis and your symptoms have come back.
