Today at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, a woman came in with a prescription for Estradiol 0.01% vaginal cream. She looked a little hesitant and asked, “Is this going to help with my dryness and irritation… down there? My doctor mentioned it, but I didn’t ask too many questions.”

I reassured her, “Yes, it’s actually one of the most effective treatments for vaginal dryness, burning, and discomfort due to menopause. Vaginal estradiol works locally, meaning it stays in the vaginal tissue and doesn’t circulate as much systemically, which makes it safer and well tolerated for many women.”

She asked, “So it’s not like hormone therapy that goes through the whole body?”

“Exactly,” I said. “It’s a low-dose, targeted treatment. Most women apply a small amount two or three times a week, usually at bedtime, using a special applicator. This helps restore moisture, elasticity, and pH balance in the vaginal tissues.”

She wanted to know, “How soon will I feel a difference?”

“Some women feel relief within a couple of weeks, but give it a full month,” I said. “It continues to improve over time with regular use.”

She smiled and added, “I just want to feel like myself again.”

“That’s the goal,” I said warmly. “You’re not alone—this is such a common part of menopause, and it’s totally manageable. And the best part? We compound it fresh for you, using gentle, skin-friendly bases.”

Before she left, I mentioned, “Our new hazardous compounding lab will be launching soon, allowing us to expand hormone therapies with even more precision and safety.”

She walked out feeling hopeful—and that’s what makes this job worth it.

Until tomorrow,
