<p>Estriol Cream is a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It contains the female hormone estriol (an estrogen). During menopause Estriol is used in vagina which is slowly released and absorbed into the surrounding area and into the bloodstream.<br />
<br />
Estriol induces the normalization of the vaginal epithelium and thus helps to restore the normal microflora and the physiological pH in the vagina. As a result, it increases the resistance of the vaginal epithelial cells to infection and inflammation. In comparison to other estrogens, estriol is short acting. In the years just before and after the menopause (which can be natural or surgically induced) estriol can be used in the treatment of symptoms and complaints related to estrogen deficiency. Estriol is particularly used in the treatment of urogenital symptoms.</p>
