Your doctor will determine the right Estrace cream dosage for you, typically starting with a low dose and adjusting based on your response and individual needs. Common starting dosages range from 0.5 grams to 1 gram of 0.01% cream daily, applied to the affected area. Always follow your physician’s instructions precisely.
Remember, consistent application is key. Apply the cream once daily, preferably at bedtime. This allows for better absorption and minimizes potential irritation. Using a thin layer ensures optimal absorption without wastage. For vaginal application, use an applicator as directed by your doctor. For skin application, rub the cream gently into the skin until fully absorbed.
Important Note: Never exceed the prescribed dosage. Increasing the amount or frequency of application without consulting your doctor could lead to adverse effects. If you experience any unusual side effects like severe skin irritation, breast tenderness, or unusual bleeding, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Regular monitoring and open communication with your doctor are crucial for successful treatment.
