Here’s what your patients may not be telling you:

Menopause is killing the mood

Vulvar and vaginal atrophy (VVA) occurs due to the decrease in estrogen that happens during menopause. It causes many symptoms, including dyspareunia.1

VVA is chronic, common, progressive—and your patients aren’t always talking about it.2

Only ~50% of women*
discussed their VVA symptoms with their healthcare provider3
*Based on a survey of more than 3000 women.

One study reported that some women during and after menopause avoid sex altogether due to pain and itching.3

According to The Journal of Sexual Medicine, up to 82.5%
of peri- and postmenopausal women express sexual concerns.4

Estrogen-Alone Therapy

  • There is an increased risk of endometrial cancer in a woman with a uterus who uses unopposed estrogens
  • The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) estrogen-alone substudy reported increased risks of stroke and deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
  • The WHI Memory Study (WHIMS) estrogen-alone ancillary study of WHI reported an increased risk of probable dementia in postmenopausal women 65 years of age and older
  • Do not use estrogen-alone therapy for the prevention of cardiovascular disease or dementia

Estrogen Plus Progestin Therapy

  • The WHI estrogen plus progestin substudy reported increased risks of stroke, DVT, pulmonary embolism (PE) and myocardial infarction (MI)
  • The WHI estrogen plus progestin substudy reported increased risks of invasive breast cancer
  • The WHIMS estrogen plus progestin ancillary study of WHI reported an increased risk of probable dementia in postmenopausal women 65 years of age and older
  • Do not use estrogen plus progestogen therapy for the prevention of cardiovascular disease or dementia

Contraindications

IMVEXXY (estradiol vaginal inserts) is contraindicated in women with any of the following conditions: undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding; known, suspected, or history of breast cancer; known or suspected estrogen-dependent neoplasia; active DVT, PE, or history of these conditions; active arterial thromboembolic disease (for example stroke, MI) or a history of these conditions; known anaphylactic reaction, angioedema, or hypersensitivity to IMVEXXY; known liver impairment or disease; known protein C, protein S, or antithrombin deficiency, or other known thrombophilic disorders.

Warning and Precautions

  • Risks from systemic absorption. IMVEXXY is intended only for vaginal administration. Systemic absorption may occur with the use of IMVEXXY.
  • Cardiovascular disorders, malignant neoplasms, and probable dementia.
Please refer to Boxed Warning for endometrial cancer, cardiovascular disorders, probable dementia, and breast cancer.
    • The use of estrogen-alone and estrogen plus progestin therapy has been reported to result in an increase in abnormal mammograms requiring further evaluation.
    • The WHI estrogen plus progestin substudy reported a statistically non-significant increased risk of ovarian cancer. A meta-analysis of
17 prospective and
35 retrospective epidemiology studies found that women who used hormonal therapy for menopausal symptoms had an increased risk for ovarian cancer. The exact duration of hormone therapy use associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer, however, is unknown.
  • Other warnings include:
gallbladder disease; severe hypercalcemia, loss of vision, elevated blood pressure, severe hypertriglyceridemia, cholestatic jaundice, fluid retention, and hypocalcemia in women with hyperparathyroidism.
  • Estrogen therapy may exacerbate:
hypothyroidism, endometriosis, hereditary angioedema, asthma, diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, migraine, porphyria, systemic lupus erythematosus, and hepatic hemangiomas, and should be used with caution in women with these conditions.
    • Women on thyroid replacement therapy should have their thyroid function monitored.

Adverse Reactions

  • The most common adverse reaction with IMVEXXY (≥3%) was headache.
