For Atrophic Vaginitis "This medication gave me a terrible rash, and I broke out in hives after the first use. It was from my hips down and itched terribly! It has been over a week, and the hives/rash are still present. OB prescribed something to help with the itch, but it makes me drowsy. This has been a terrible experience. I would not recommend this or wish this on anyone."

For Atrophic Vaginitis "After one-time use, the next day I noticed an itchy rash mostly under my armpits and some on my torso. I'm afraid to use it again. Also, in the morning, I had bad hot flashes. The last time was over a year ago."

For Atrophic Vaginitis "After dealing with atrophy following a total hysterectomy, my doc suggested Imvexxy. Let's start with the positives: It DID what it was supposed to do, painful sex vanished after using it only a week and a half and I felt better in the nether regions. Now for the 'not so' positives: I noticed my hair thinning and had a slight headache. In the second week, I noticed a rash on my arms (elbow down) and legs. My family doc treated me with steroids, but it started right back following treatment. I decided to stop Imvexxy on a hunch, and after nearly two weeks, the rash began to fade. When I mentioned this to my gyn, she said you must be allergic to coconut oil... I use coconut oil every day with no issues. The ONLY thing different before all this mess was starting Imvexxy. Bottom line, if anyone did have a rash after this medication and was told 'That's not the cause.' by their doc, you are not alone. I am trying another (non-hormonal) product as it had some good reviews... just to see."
