Product introduction
Evalon Cream is a vaginal cream containing estriol, a form of oestrogen used specifically to treat the local symptoms that often follow menopause. As oestrogen levels drop after menopause, the vaginal tissue can become thin, dry, and easily irritated, leading to burning, itching, and discomfort. Evalon Cream delivers oestrogen directly to this tissue, helping to restore its thickness and moisture rather than raising oestrogen levels throughout the whole body. It is meant for use under a doctor's guidance, typically for a limited period or on a schedule your doctor recommends.
Storage: Store below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

How Evalon Cream works
Estriol is a form of oestrogen that acts mainly on the local vaginal tissue when applied this way. It helps restore the thickness, elasticity, and moisture of the vaginal lining and supports a healthy vaginal environment, which eases the dryness, burning, and itching caused by the fall in natural oestrogen after menopause.
