How do I apply Vaginal estriol cream with the supplied applicator?

Use Vaginal estriol cream exactly as your prescribing physician and pharmacy label direct. Although the product form is listed as topical, the listed route is vaginal. Do not swallow the cream or apply it to other areas unless your physician gives you specific instructions.

Wash and dry your hands before handling the cream. If an applicator is supplied, use its instructions to measure your prescribed dose. The typical listed amount is 1 g, but follow your own label. A full applicator may hold more than your dose. Ask the pharmacist if the markings are unclear.

Get into a comfortable position and gently insert the applicator as its instructions describe. Do not force it. Release the cream as directed, then remove the applicator and wash your hands. Stop and ask for advice if insertion causes pain or bleeding.

Clean or discard the applicator according to the pharmacy’s instructions. Do not share the cream or applicator. Ask the pharmacist whether the cream’s base affects condoms, diaphragms, or other vaginal products.
