If a dose is forgotten, it should be taken as soon as the patient remembers. A double dose should be avoided.
For initiation and continuation of treatment of menopausal symptoms, the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration (see Precautions) should be used.
Vagifem may be used in women with or without an intact uterus.
