Evalon Cream 15gm

Introduction to Evalon Cream 15gm

Evalon Cream 15 gm belongs to a group of medicines called hormone replacement therapy used to relieve menopausal symptoms in the vagina, such as vaginal atrophy (vaginal dryness or irritation). It is used before/after vaginal surgery to help wound healing. Vaginal atrophy occurs due to a drop in the levels of oestrogen that naturally happens after menopause.

Evalon Cream 15 gm contains ‘estriol’, which works by replacing the oestrogen that is normally produced by the ovaries, thereby helping provide relief from discomfort, dryness or irritation in the vagina.

In some cases, you may experience side effects such as itching, irritation of the skin around the vagina, swollen, tender, or painful breasts, headache, and nausea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Avoid using Evalon Cream 15 gm if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Stop using Evalon Cream 15 gm and consult a doctor if you notice jaundice, a large rise in blood pressure, migraine, if you become pregnant or if you notice any signs of a blood clot such as sudden chest pain, difficulty breathing, painful swelling and redness of the legs. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.

Evalon Cream is identical to a female hormone, estrogen. It is used to treat symptoms associated with menopause. This topical preparation helps to treat vaginal burning, dryness and itching caused due to lack of estrogen. Evalon Cream 15gm was manufactured by Aspen Pharmacare.

You should use Evalon Cream in the way your doctor advises. It may depend on whether you have had any kind of hormonal replacement treatment (HRT) before. Even if your symptoms improve, you should continue the treatment as it has been prescribed.

When you start using this medicine you may experience vaginal irritation or itching. This usually goes away if you continue using it. You may also get pain in your abdomen, a genital rash, headache and vaginal thrush (candidiasis). Tell your doctor if you experience bleeding in your vagina. Your doctor may give you an alternative medicine.

Uses of  Evalon 15gm

Vaginal atrophy and before/after surgery to help wound healing. Evalon 15gm is a medication containing estradiol, which is a form of the hormone estrogen. It is commonly used for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to manage symptoms associated with menopause and to treat certain gynecological conditions. Here are some of the uses of Evalon 15gm:

• Menopausal Symptoms
• Vaginal Atrophy
• Hormone Replacement Therapy
• Osteoporosis Prevention
• Estrogen Deficiency
• Postmenopausal Health

How Does Evalon 15 Works?

Evalon 15 gm contains an active ingredient; Estriol is estrogen which is a part of hormone replacement therapy and maintains the estrogen levels in the body in menopausal women. It reduces the vaginal wall from becoming thin and dry hence reducing the associated symptoms. The body produces hormones called Estrogen. They are required to support and maintain the growth of female organs.

After menopause, insufficient levels of this hormone can cause the vaginal lining to become thin and dry. It can make sexual activity uncomfortable and lead to vaginal infections. Evalon contains Estriol, a female hormone identical to the Estrogen your body produces naturally. It will help relieve symptoms that may occur after menopause. Evalon cream is absorbed through the skin and enters the bloodstream, alleviating menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, burning, and irritation.
