Evya-H Gel 80 gm

Evya-H Gel belongs to a group of medicines called oestrogen hormones used to prevent and treat hot flashes in women experiencing menopause. It is also used to treat vaginal itching, dryness, and burning sensations in women experiencing menopause.

Evya-H Gel contains ''estradiol'', which works by replacing the oestrogen, which is normally produced by the ovaries, thereby providing relief from menopausal symptoms.

In some cases, Evya-H Gel may cause side effects such as headache, breast pain or tenderness, diarrhoea, gas and heartburn. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, think you are pregnant, are planning for pregnancy or are breastfeeding. Avoid smoking or going near open flame until Evya-H Gel has dried as it may catch fire. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Menopausal symptoms: Menopause is a condition in which a woman hasn’t had periods for 12 consecutive months. It usually begins between the ages of 45-55 years. Symptoms include hot flashes, vaginal itching, irritation, dryness, and a burning sensation. They occur due to a drop in the levels of oestrogen that naturally happens after menopause.
