I've been using vagirux on prescription but have seen some posters on here swear by vagifem and say they can see real difference. Can I have a show of hands please as am due a new prescription and do experience dryness still - and wondered if should push for vagifem? Thanks all.

They’re exactly the same thing. 10mcg estradiol. The only difference is the applicator/s.

I started on Vagifem but the GP changed me to Vagirux. Other than the applicator, there's no difference.

Thanks for that - had seen someone say their GP changed them to Vagirux and they thought less effective .... couldn't see how it would be as dosage the same.
