We offer vaginal estradiol cream 0.01% which is the generic of ESTRACE®. Each gram of ESTRACE® (estradiol vaginal cream USP 0.01%) contains 0.1 mg estradiol in a nonliquefying base containing purified water, propylene glycol, stearyl alcohol, white ceresin wax, mono- and di-glycerides, hypromellose 2208 (4000 cps), sodium lauryl sulfate, methylparaben, edetate di-sodium and tertiary-butylhydroquinone.
The standard dose is 1-2 grams of cream. You can use estradiol cream for as long as needed to prevent symptoms from coming back. There is no age limit or duration limit.
This medication is FDA-approved and ships from our US-regulated pharmacy.
Safety: Estradiol vaginal cream is prescribed in very low doses and is not absorbed significantly throughout the body. It can be a great option for people who do not want or cannot take oral estrogen. You can even use it if you have a history of breast cancer, we just ask that you clear it with your oncologist first!
Side effects: Yeast infections can happen as your vaginal microbiome adjusts to the healthy benefits of estrogen cream. It's rare, but if you do get a yeast infection while using this cream, you can just message your doctor and they can prescribe an oral antifungal pill to clear the yeast quickly.
Getting started: After you complete checkout, you'll complete a short online health profile. A board-certified doctor licensed in your state will review your information and send you information about your prescription. You can message them with any questions. In the rare case you should be seen by an in-person provider, your assigned doctor will give you information about that as well.
Refills: Each tube lasts about 2-3 months. Refills ship automatically, but we text you before every refill just in case you need to cancel or postpone.

Estradiol vaginal cream is a low-dose estrogen cream that is FDA-approved to treat changes in and around the vagina (such as vaginal dryness, itching, and burning) caused by declining estrogen levels from perimenopause and menopause. These changes have been termed vaginal atrophy (VA), but are now known as the genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM).
It is not an overnight quick fix, but with a little time you can experience remarkable benefits.
Consistent use of estradiol vaginal cream can restore moisture and flexibility to the vaginal tissues, balance vaginal pH, reduce pain with sex, prevent UTIs, and prevent incontinence.
We like to think of vaginal estradiol as preventative care - like sunscreen!
Estradiol vaginal cream is typically applied every day for 2 weeks and then every 2-3 days after that. It comes with an applicator to help you easily push the medication into the vagina. Some women prefer to apply with a fingertip instead.
One common question is if estradiol cream can be transferred to a partner. While is no danger to your partner, just don't use it as a lubricant. We recommend to apply it before you go to sleep to allow the medication to absorb.
Your board-certified doctor will give you specific instructions and is available for any questions. It's all included in your care with us.
