Watch for Imvexxy, a New Low-Dose Vaginal Estrogen

September 2018

Imvexxy (im-VEK-see, estradiol) will be a new Rx vaginal softgel insert for postmenopausal women with dyspareunia.

Think of Imvexxy as another low-dose vaginal estradiol...similar to vaginal tabs (Vagifem, Yuvafem), cream (Estrace), or ring (Estring).

Imvexxy will be promoted as the lowest dose of vaginal estradiol...at 4 mcg. It will also come in 10 mcg...like the vaginal tabs.
