pharmachologic effect

Ovestin® contains estriol, an analogue of the natural female hormone. It compensates for estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women and relieves postmenopausal symptoms. The most effective estriol in the treatment of genitourinary disorders. In the case of atrophy of the mucous membrane of the lower parts of the genitourinary tract, estriol helps to normalize the epithelium of the genitourinary tract and helps restore normal microflora and physiological pH in the vagina. As a result, it increases the resistance of epithelial cells of the genitourinary tract to infection and inflammation, reducing complaints such as soreness during intercourse, dryness, itching in the vagina, reduces the likelihood of vaginal and urinary tract infections, helps to normalize urination and prevents urinary incontinence.

Unlike other estrogens, estriol has a short duration of action, since it is retained in the nuclei of endometrial cells for a short period of time.

It is assumed that a single administration of a daily dose does not cause endometrial proliferation.

Therefore, cyclic administration of progestogen is not required and withdrawal bleeding does not occur.

In addition, estriol has been shown to not increase mammographic density.

Pharmacokinetics

Intravaginal administration of estriol provides optimal bioavailability at the site of action.

Estriol is also absorbed and enters the general bloodstream, which is manifested by a rapid increase in the concentration of unbound estriol in plasma.

The maximum concentration in plasma is observed 1-2 hours after administration.

In plasma, almost all (90%) of estriol is bound to albumin and, unlike other estrogens, is practically not bound to globulin, which binds sex hormones.

Estriol metabolism consists mainly in the transition to a conjugated and unconjugated state during intestinal-hepatic circulation.

Estriol, being the end product of metabolism, is mainly excreted in the urine in bound form.

Only a small part (? 2%) is excreted in the feces, mainly in the form of unbound estriol.

The half-life is approximately 6-9 hours.

After vaginal administration of 0.5 mg of estriol, the maximum Cmax concentration is approximately 100 pg / ml, the minimum Cmin concentration is approximately 25 pg / ml, and the average Cav concentration is approximately 70 pg / ml.

After 3 weeks of daily application of 0.5 mg of vaginal estriol, the Cav value decreased to 40 pg / ml.

Side effects

As with any other drug that is applied to the surface of the mucous membranes, Ovestin® cream can sometimes cause local irritation or itching.

Sometimes there may be tension, soreness, tenderness and enlargement of the mammary glands.

These adverse reactions are usually short-lived and transient, but at the same time, they may indicate the use of too high a dose.

Also found: acyclic spotting, breakthrough bleeding, metrorrhagia.

Other adverse reactions have been reported with estrogen monotherapy or combination therapy with estrogens and proges
