What Is Femring?
Not only is Femring is an effective way to treat menopause symptoms, but it is also a convenient and discreet delivery option. Femring is an estrogen therapy that aids in relief of moderate to severe hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.

Why Use Femring?
Femring delivers estradiol, which is the hormone your ovaries make naturally. One Femring lasts three months; it can't be seen and usually can't be felt at all. There' s no need to remember to take a pill every day, or put a patch on your body.

What can Femring Offer Me?

Relief
If you experience hot flashes and night sweats, you are not alone. The majority of women in menopause experience unpredictable hot flashes throughout the day and also night sweats that disturb sleep. In clinical trials, women treated with Femring 0.05 mg/day experienced a significant reduction in the number of hot flashes/night sweats they were experiencing.

Loss of estrogen causes the lining of your vagina to become thinner and drier, leading to dryness and discomfort, especially during sexual activity. Women treated with Femring during clinical trials reported an improvement in vaginal dryness and pain during intercourse.

Freedom in Midlife
You are as busy as ever, with so much to do and remember. You do not want to take "time out" to deal with symptoms of menopause. Femring offers a vaginal delivery system that can be inserted and left in place for three months. This convenient and discreet approach to estrogen therapy allows you to get on with the things that are really important.
