Generic name: ESTROGENS, CONJUGATED 0.625mg in 1g
Dosage form: vaginal cream
Drug classes: Estrogens, Miscellaneous vaginal agents
Medically reviewed by Drugs.com. Last updated on May 2, 2025.
Generally, when estrogen is prescribed for a postmenopausal woman with a uterus, a progestin should also be considered to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer.
A woman without a uterus does not need a progestin. In some cases, however, hysterectomized women with a history of endometriosis may need a progestin.
Use of estrogen-alone, or in combination with a progestin, should be with the lowest effective dose and for the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals and risks for the individual woman. Postmenopausal women should be re-evaluated periodically as clinically appropriate to determine if treatment is still necessary.
Treatment of Atrophic Vaginitis and Kraurosis Vulvae
