Can I stop using Arousal cream for women at any time?

Short answer

For use only before activity, a taper is generally not expected, but confirm your stopping plan with your prescribing physician. Stop using the cream and seek advice if it causes a reaction. Do not replace it with another sexual health treatment without checking for interactions and safe timing.

If you use Arousal cream for women only before activity, a gradual dose reduction is generally not expected. Still, your prescribing physician should guide decisions about stopping, especially if you received a different schedule. Do not change other prescribed medicines when you stop this cream.

If you want to stop because it is not helping, tell your physician. Results vary. A follow-up can review how you used it, any side effects, and whether pain, dryness, other medicines, or health conditions need attention. There is no need to keep applying it just to finish the container.

Stop using the cream and seek medical advice for new irritation or other concerning symptoms. Get urgent help for chest pain, fainting, sudden vision or hearing changes, or a rapid or irregular heartbeat. Call 911 for trouble breathing or swelling of the face or throat.

Ask the pharmacy how to discard leftover cream safely. Stopping use and changing future orders are separate matters, so confirm any ordering changes with Verra.
