Estradiol pessaries

Do you know of a substitute pessary for Vagifem or Ortho-Gynest as these seem to be discontinued locally.
Thanks

Hello,
Vagifem contains estradiol. As an alternative to vagifem, you can get prescribed estring. The other alternatives are creams--Premarin and Estrace vaginal creams but use them under prescription.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
