Replens is a hormone-free intravaginal gel solution tailored to ease vaginal dryness and alleviate symptoms associated with vaginal atrophy. The water-based formulation maintains pH balance, which helps to provide an appropriate environment for vaginal health.
Replens MD ensures condom effectiveness remains unaffected, encompassing natural rubber latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane varieties. Being hormone-free, Replens can be used alongside hormone replacement therapy.
Replens works by coating the walls inside the vagina, which moisturises, lubricates and soothes the area. The formulation contains a carbomer compound, which helps the gel to attach to the vaginal walls. This provides ongoing moisture as the purified water within the formulation is gradually absorbed. This helps to replenish the body’s natural moisture production.
Like all medicines, this product can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Some women notice a residue or discharge after initial use of Replens™. This is caused by the elimination of dead skin cells. Your body naturally sheds dry vaginal tissue that has built up over time. Replens™ enhances this renewal process and leaves softer, more supple tissue behind.
When used on a regular basis, Replens™ will help prevent the build up of dead skin cells and the discharge should dissipate.
If vaginal irritation occurs, discontinue use. If symptoms persist, contact your doctor. If you experience any other unpleasant effects after using Replens™ please consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Replens is suitable for use with not suitable for use with polyurethane (PU) condoms.
Do not use this product if you are allergic to any of the ingredients listed.
