• Azole antifungals (eg, ketoconazole), macrolide antibiotics (eg, erythromycin), or protease inhibitors (eg, ritonavir) because they may increase the risk of estradiol's side effects

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Femigel may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How should I take Femigel?

Use Femigel as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

• An extra patient leaflet is available with Femigel. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about this information.
• To use, tear off a single applicator, separate the plastic wrap, and remove the applicator from the plastic wrap.
• Select the position for vaginal insertion that is most comfortable for you.
• Place the finger of one hand on the applicator plunger. Use the other hand to gently and comfortably guide the applicator into the vagina. If the tablet falls out of the applicator before inserting the filled applicator, use a new applicator with a fresh tablet.
• Insert the tablet as far into the vagina as it can comfortably go without force, or until half of the applicator is in your vagina, whichever is less.
• After inserting the filled applicator, gently press the plunger until you hear a click and the plunger is fully depressed. This will eject the tablet inside your vagina. The tablet will dissolve slowly over several hours.
• After depressing the plunger, gently remove the applicator and throw it away. Do not reuse the applicator.
• You may use Femigel at any time of the day. However, you should use it at the same time of day each time you use it.
• Eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice may increase the risk of estradiol's side effects. Talk to your doctor before including grapefruit or grapefruit juice in your diet while you are taking Femigel.
• If you miss a dose of Femigel, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Femigel.

Can Femigel be taken or consumed while pregnant?

Please visit your doctor for a recommendation as such case requires special attention.

Can Femigel be taken for nursing mothers or during breastfeeding?

Kindly explain your state and condition to your doctor and seek medical advice from an expert.
