Estring, vaginal ring to provide estrogen replacement therapy

I have been using the eString for about 8 years. I love it! Tried the creams and vaginal pill insertion, but they were not effective. I do not have eczema, but do have very sensitive skin, especially in that area.
Insurance would not cover the Estring initially. My doctor had to submit some paperwork that I had tried the other options and they were not effective. Once they allowed coverage, the co-pay was $100-200. So now I use the manufacturer coupon from the Pfizer website which reduces copay to $45.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

I appreciate your information. I never had eczema in my vagina, just elsewhere, but like you have sensitive skin there and couldn't tolerate the cream. I considered the vaginal pill insertion yet it has lots of ingredients which I've never been tested for. Your input about sensitvity to the vaginal pill is so helpful because I considered it and surprisingly after my insurance costs it would be $350 for 3 months whereas with the ring it is $225 with my Medicare Humana prescription supplement. I would love to qualify for the website reduced price plan, however with a Medicare prescription supplement, which I pay for, I do not qualify. You clearly are too young fo medicare. Yet that $45 discount offer is good for others to be aware of otherwise it is over $500 even with a free px plan like GoodRx.
Do you any negative side effects at all?
