Buy Gina 10mcg Vaginal Tablets online
Gina 10 microgram vaginal tablets are an over-the-counter hormone replacement therapy (HRT) used to relieve symptoms associated with menopause. You can buy buy Gina vaginal tablets online in the UK without a prescription from Click Pharmacy.
What is Gina?
Gina is a local vaginal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for postmenopausal women aged 50 and above who have not had a period for at least a year. It contains the active ingredient estradiol, a form of oestrogen, and is used to relieve menopause symptoms such as vaginal dryness, irritation, and discomfort.
How does Gina work?
Gina vaginal tablet contains estradiol, a form of oestrogen that helps restore moisture and elasticity to the vaginal tissues. During menopause, oestrogen levels drop, leading to dryness, irritation, and discomfort. When inserted, Gina releases a small amount of estradiol directly into the vaginal tissue, providing local relief with minimal absorption into the bloodstream. This helps improve comfort and reduce symptoms over time.
