"I just started using Imvexxy and although initially it felt like it was helping, things have taken a turn for the worse. I have mild cramping, itching burning, and increased urination with burning. Got checked for UTI and none present. The only thing that has changed as been the introduction of Imvexxy. I'm also having stomach issues. Imvexxy is not for me. I had high hopes but the side effects are intolerable."

"My OB/GYN recommended Imvexxy, after another OTC, Revaree, did nothing to help with my vaginal atrophy. I was reluctant to take any HRT, and never would have brought it to my doctor's attention if she did not ask me how my sexual health was. I had been unable to have intercourse for over 4-5 years."

"IMVEXXY did not work for me. I'm 6 years post menopause. Insurance quit covering Premarin cream (which worked great) and switched me to IMVEXXY. I tried the 4 & 10 mcg strengths. Neither took care of the dryness, irritation or urinary symptoms. It caused a burning irritation that felt like a UTI after each use. I used it at night and it was messy enough to require a panty liner. I also had some hair loss which may or may not be related."

"I’m 62, had a hysterectomy at age 40, did not do HRT, and am not sexually active. I needed Estrace 3 times a week on the opening of my vagina for dryness. In 2022, however, I had 6 UTIs and lower back pain. My urologist thinks I have cystitis and vaginal dryness and prescribed 10 mcg of Imvexxy twice a week. I’ve used Imvexxy for three weeks and have been experiencing night sweats and a pink discharge from the medication. I use a leftover applicator to insert the capsule, not my fingers. I insert it more than 2 inches but the discharge still leaks out. The opening of my vagina still feels dry. I’ll have to see if the UTIs go away with continued use."

"Started Imvexxy fall of 2019. Seemed to be working fine. Summer of 2021 I started having heavy discharge on all days except the day after nightly dosage. I also started having unusual hip pain and mobility. Experienced migraines as well. Have stopped taking mvexxy spring 2022 and after the 1st week off, hip pain and mobility improving and discharge is much less every day."

"Pink discharge scared me, should not have a dye, can be confused with blood. Pinkness on a tissue can be a lot of things that are serious, such as pink or light amount of blood on a tissue from bladder cancer. Its very hard to figure out if it is blood, and, where it might have come from if you see a pink color. Also, I wonder how much drug actually slips out when the pink coating dissolves in the discharge. Prescribed by my ob/gyn and urologist for UTI/atrophy/dryness seems to help somewhat. Been using for 6 weeks. Color of it needs to change. Needs an applicator."

"I’ve been using Imvexxy for about 1 month. I’ve noticed hot flashes and night sweats have increased. I’m having leg heaviness and tiredness as well as lower back pain. Insomnia has also gotten worse. I get a burning sensation and discharge after usage. I take 10 mcg every two days. I will reduce my usage to once a week and see if the symptoms resolve. I will keep you posted."

"Just read all these reviews after having used this product for about a year and a half. I was on a strong dose at first and it made me very crampy so my doctor reduced the dose to 10 mg which still seems like a lot compared to the reviews that I’ve been reading. I took it half as often as she suggested. It worked. However, I had the worst smell coming from my armpits and I’ve never been a smelly armpit person, my hair is thinning which I realize is a side effect according to the reviews, and I had weird sensations in my breast. So I will be discontinuing the use of this product. Good luck ladies."

"Prescribed to me for surgical menopause (hysterectomy in my 30’s). Worked to help prevent UTI and vaginal dryness. Side effects: diarrhea, headaches and body aches. Sucks…. But big pharma keeps you coming back for side effects and other problems. Gotta keep you a customer I guess. 4mcg twice a week."

"Just started using a week ago on lower dose 4mcg. The only side affect has been joint pain: knees, elbows and hips. Cost was $75 for 18. $35 for maintenance pack of 8. Find the prescription card online. I can deal with side effect if sex isn’t painful. I'm 54 and not expecting my sex life to be over yet."

"Imvexxy has been effective in treating Atrophic Vaginitis. However, after having been on it for some time, I have gained nearly 10 pounds, experience hair thinning, 'full' abdomen and thigh cramping as well as my hot flashes have returned. Interestingly the trials that were conducted for this medication only covered women for 12 weeks so could side effects increase with long-term use? My insurance doesn't cover this medication and I will be stopping it once I complete this month."
