Product description

The only over the counter Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) that treats and relieves vaginal symptoms post menopause.

Gina 10 micrograms vaginal tablets have been specially designed for post menopausal women aged 50 years and over who have not had a period for at least one year.

These HRT tablets have been formulated to help to treat and relieve menopause symptoms such as:

Vaginal dryness
Soreness
Burning
Itching
Painful intercourse

Clinically proven, Gina vaginal tablets target the cause as well as the symptoms, helping to give you relief from menopause symptoms as you go about your day as normal.

How does Gina work?

Gina works by replacing the oestrogen which is normally produced in the ovaries of women. It is inserted into your vagina, so the hormone is released where it is needed. This may relieve discomfort in the vagina.
