"The packaging is too much. Too much foil that rips and cut your fingers when you’re trying to tear one of the applicators off, which does not come off evenly ever. On at least two occasions there was no tablet in the applicator, therefore useless. One time the applicator didn’t have a plunger and I could not get the tablet out to insert it manually. Never ever had any of these issues with Vagifem."

"I took Vagifem for several years before Yuvafem was released. The Vagifem significantly improved my dryness issues. I then switched to Yuvafem and, in less than two months I developed swelling in my vaginal wall. The swelling caused constant pressure on my bladder, constant pain and intermittent incontinence. It took nearly two months to resolve. I will never use this medication again! I am currently searching for a Medicare Part D plan, as I am nearing 65, and have been very disappointed to discover that Medicare does not cover Vagifem. I am also disappointed to see that some Part D plans only cover the Yuvafem generic option. I tried the other generic option and found it to be more irritating than Vagifem but not the nightmare that was Yuvafem."

"Used Vagifem for many years=excellent product. Insurance then switched to Yuvafem=obvious cheaper packaging & lesser quality applicator, but still effective medication for me. Then insurance switched me to Teva=nightmare of product to use due to defective applicator. Now insurance has switched back to Yuvafem, but now pharmacy has been telling me for 3 months that company says out if stock. !!!"

"I had fallopian tube cancer and after a hysterectomy, chemo and radiation had terrible vaginal burning. Yuvafem seems to help, but the applicator upon insertion causes cuts and causes bleeding (which in my case causes quite a scare. My gynecological oncologist told me to insert it by hand. This is an extremely expensive drug. Couldn't it be made without the applicator to cut costs for those of us who can not use the applicator as long as the instructions included proper hygiene?"

"In the beginning I had repeated UTI's. One dr suggested it might be menopause systems. I went to the gynecologist and she gave me Imvexxy first. It did not help. I still had the terrible burning, so she switched me to the Yuvafem. I've been taking it for a couple of months now. I don't really like the applicator, it hurts. If you use lubricant it will go in easier. sometimes I have no symptoms at all. But for what ever reason they will come back, not as bad but its there. I have to use replens moisturizer on those days. I never tried the other, my insurance will only pay for the Yuvafem even though I was written a script for the name brand and not Yuvafem. I have not had any joint pain or discharge. If the insert is not inserted all the way up to plunger that you push in ,the pill will come out. I only had the pill fall out once. I knew I had not put it all the way in. So far that is the only one I have found."

"Thanks for the helpful reviews here. Pharmacy switched vagifem to yuvafem. Terrible problems. When I read these reviews I switched back and am so glad I did! Someone should get this terrible version of the drug of the market!"

"I've only been on this for 1 and 1/2 weeks, but my vaginitis and polyuria have literally stopped! Hoping it continues. I was on HRT for years. Rather nervous about this, but nothing else worked for vaginal and Urinary issues. I don't like the wasteful packaging. All of those small applicators in a landfill is pointless. Why is the medical field so irresponsible with waste?! Women have kids and periods monthly and complain about inserting a little pill? Come on..."

"This product works great for me. I can't figure out why so many women can't get the applicator out of the foil packaging????? Really??? Cuts? Losing the little tablet?? I have no problem whatsoever."

"The application causes cuts inside the vagina due to improper design. The inserted part is not smooth.This product should be taken off the market. "

"After ONE dose of Yuvafem I will not use this awful stuff! I had discharge and burning and feeling like I have to pee. I can't believe how horrible this stuff is. I will be reporting it to the FDA."

"Terrible packaging and not effective. Cut my finger...Maybe the company should be investigating the results and packaging if their product before they end up with a class action law suit."

"Several pills have been wasted because they fell out of the applicator and onto the floor. Maybe that's what they want so you will have to go through the product faster..."

"I only recently started it so I don't have much to say except that. I am not having any trouble with the packaging at all. So far I haven't had any bad reactions from Yuvafem"
