Evalon Cream
Evalon 1 G Description
Evalon cream is used for the treatment of symptoms of vaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women and in women whose ovaries have been removed. It is also used before or after vaginal surgery to help in wound healing. Vaginal atrophy is a condition that occurs due to a decline in female hormones and leads to thinning, drying and inflammation of the vaginal walls. Evalon cream contains the female hormone estriol, which belongs to the class of medicines called hormone replacement therapy. Use Evalon cream as instructed by your doctor and follow all the directions carefully. Before using Evalon cream, inform the doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding and about your detailed medical history.
