I'm 50 years old. I suffer the hot flashes and awaken during the night with hot flashes a friend told me about Cleary sage oil, I have been reading about essential oils for the hot flashes and found that it elevates the estrogen which may help with flashes.

I started using Vagifem a week ago and today I saw blood spotting. Is this normal? I can't remember if my Dr told this would happen. ## Hello, Rose! How are you?

The FDA lists the other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, discharge and PMS-like symptoms. If it gets heavy or continues for a long time, you should have it checked out to be sure. Is there anything else I can help with?

I found a small round white pill NOVO 279 is marked on the pill ## YOU FOUND A VAGIFEM PILL, USED BY POST-MENOPAUSAL WOMEN TO SUPPLEMENT THE LOSS OF NATURAL HORMONES. ## This is not listed in the U.S. prescription drug databases, so I cannot confirm this ID. ## Its a Vagifem Novo Nordisk that comes in an aplocator wond and its 25 micrograms of oestradiol.

Can I split it if half to see if I have any discomfort and maybe upgrade if everything goes well. ## Hi Josee I was prescribed Vagifem 25 and only used it for 3 days. Side effects were: heart pounding, headaches, leg pain, nausea, vertigo, dizziness, visual distubances and excessive vaginal discharge. That was a month ago and I am still unable to shake the nausea, vertigo and headaches. Perhaps there is no safe level for this drug! Be very careful. I would love to hear from others who continue to experience side-effects after stopping hormone therapy. ## Vagifem is an Estradiol (Estrogen) vaginal insert tablet, w...
