Premarin vaginal cream vs Estradiol vaginal cream

I am using estrogen cream twice a week as well and it is starting cause a lot of irritation .Does anyone have suggestions on what to use to help with burning and irritation ? I have been using Zinc ointment, it helps a bit but there might be another answer? Thanks

I have tried both ,i don't find any difference however on premarin is less expensive in canada 🇨🇦. It might be a bit stronger in odor . That would be interesting to find out if there is a difference in the products .

I use the generic estradiol cream and have discovered the manufacturer makes a difference in how I react. I happen to get a cream from a different company since that is what the pharmacy had at the time. I had burning. My gyn now writes the RX for the
generic brand that does not cause irritation.

It took me about a week or two and the relief was amazing. Are you using it daily for the first week or two? I used it every night for a week and now use it 3xweek. I wouldn’t miss a dose.

Thanks for that info ,do you have the actual name of it and is it available in canada 🇨🇦? That would really help thanks .vikki

I keep hearing that the estring is better. Anyone have any experience with using it?

You might be referring to my posts about Estring. It has been miracle for me. I couldn't tolerate the the less expensive vaginal creams. I am rejuvenated. It's worth the money. With my Medicare insurance it costs $500 the first of the year and after that $200. One silicone ring has 3 months of time release estrogen which you insert yourself into your vagina. It restored my vaginal health it thickeded tissue, stopped the painful burning and eliminated any odor. I have read post that say it slides out, mine needs a finger push back to the upper part of the vagina about once a week which I do in the shower, but it has never come close to sliding out. You don't feel it and during sexual intercourse your partner doesn't either.

That’s fantastic information to have. I appreciate it.

Was it hard to get the estring from your provider

A gynocologist I went to after going to others for years and not being helped I kept searching. After she reviewed my history with previous topical estrogens I tried she suggested this time released product which I had never heard of or been told about by any gynocologist. The problem for many is the expense. I only see her once a year now to get a prescription refill.

We have Publix grocery stores and they have an amazing pharmacy.

With them the estring is 25 dollars
