Can I Split Vagifem 10 In Half

Updated

Hi

I was prescribed Vagifem 25 for vaginal dryness and could not tolerate it- heart betting, chest pain - I was now prescribed Vagifem 10. I am a little scared to try this one.

Can I split it if half to see if I have any discomfort and maybe upgrade if everything goes well.

Hi Josee
I was prescribed Vagifem 25 and only used it for 3 days. Side effects were: heart pounding, headaches, leg pain, nausea, vertigo, dizziness, visual distubances and excessive vaginal discharge. That was a month ago and I am still unable to shake the nausea, vertigo and headaches.
Perhaps there is no safe level for this drug! Be very careful.
I would love to hear from others who continue to experience side-effects after stopping hormone therapy.

Vagifem is an Estradiol (Estrogen) vaginal insert tablet, which means that it is somewhat unusual for someone to experience so many physical side effects from it, however, since it is a hormone, there are some people that it just doesn't agree with.

In such cases, it may mean that it is giving you too much of the hormone, so it is not the one you need to solve your problem.

Jude, if you are still experiencing side effects, it is probably because it has completely thrown your body hormones out of whack. Hs your doctor made any other recommendations?

Josee, since this is an inserted tablet, that means it is specially formulated for this use and I don't recommend cutting it in half.
