If my dr. gave me an rx for 'estrace' vag cream, what is the difference?
1331004
Estrace contains the hormone "estradiol." The Smoky Mountain product contains "estriol", a different form of estrogen. Note that both estradiol and estriol are estrogen-based hormones. Estrace is the brand name and is only available by Rx.

48 Servings per jar. 3.125 mg of Estriol per serving. Dosage is a 1/4 teaspoon per day. But you do not use it every day of the month. There is a schedule to be followed. SM products work very well.

Your Rx will have Specific dosage within its cream base, and the Rx has a dosage based applicator. This product does not specify the concentration, and does not have a dosage based applicator. Additionally, compare other ingredients in The bases for either these creams, and the Rx. Hope this helps.

I am 64 years old and tried Amberen because I have vaginal dryness. To be honest, it has totally helped me in that area and I no longer have to use any other creams. Also I am sleeping better at night. I have been on it for almost 2 months. I do get an occasional hot flash, but it's worth it to have the other 2 issues addressed.

Sorry not sure. But email info@vasanticosmetics.com. In the past they responded to my questions pretty quickly and were really helpful.

From what I've read, it's derived from a plant, and is safer than prescription estrogen. I don't know what kind of plant it comes from, but I know it's helped me a lot.

there are 3 types of oestrogen; estradial, estrone and estriol. estrodial by itself is prone to have problems; my understanding is that it's much better to have it paired with estriol which is the better form of estrogen. estrone is not as important therefore is usually not included in any kind of formula. of course i am not a doctor so please research the information on your own before making any purchase decisions. i like this formula but got really tired of having to rub in a big amount of creme on a daily basis, it took forever to dry. petty i know but i would much rather have a gel or drops that could be placed under the tongue. there are 3 types of oestrogen; estradial, estrone and estriol. estrodial by itself is prone to have problems; my understanding is that it's much better to have it paired with estriol which is the better form of estrogen. estrone is not as important therefore is usually not included in any kind of formula. of course i am not a doctor so please research the information on your own before making any purchase decisions. i like this formula but got really tired of having to rub in a big amount of creme on a daily basis, it took forever to dry. petty i know but i would much rather have a gel or... » Read More there are 3 types of oestrogen; estradial, estrone and estriol. estrodial by itself is prone to have problems; my understanding is that it's much better to have it paired with estriol which is the better form of estrogen. estrone is not as important therefore is usually not included in any kind of formula. of course i am not a doctor so please research the information on your own before making any purchase decisions. i like this formula but got really tired of having to rub in a big amount of creme on a daily basis, it took forever to dry. petty i know but i would much rather have a gel or drops that could be placed under the tongue. « Show Less

The first one listed is L. acipihilus, second listed is L. rhamnosus(which is one of the most important one Specifically for woman). The many others, It doesn't list L. Reuteri, but its lot more concentrated than femdophilus brand. The ultimate flora brand had 50 million and femdophilus only has about 20 billion or less. One thing I just recently learned. If use the antibiotic metrogel or cleocin(clydaminc cream) you have to waite one week after fininshed using it as the medicince is still in the body. So if you put yogurt and the pill in the private area the infection might come back. So it would be 3 weeks of treatment one on antibiotics, the second week don't put anything in the privates(leave it onlone. the week you you can start to put back the yogurt and pill to replenish the good bacteria. To avoid a yeast infection take florastor(sold on amazon.om or cvs pharmacy) the first few days with the antibiotics, you can then stop taking florastor. After 2 days of using the antibiotics cream or gel and tthe rest of the weeks only use water, no soap is need since the antibitiics will kill all the bacteria regardless. When you finished keep using cool to cold water only don't use any soaps not even mild unscented soaps, it will throw off your ph balance or keep killing the little good bacteria you have. I went through a lot of trial and error. I notice it wont work if you eat too much sugar, caffein, greasy foods, and soaps.

Not that know of, I think the cream & lotion are exactly the same. I have used it for years and years, I got my family using it, my parents, my sisters & friends. It ' s awesome. If you have real bad pain from an injury in a muscle Topricin doesn't help, you may want to look into Curamin, by Terry Naturally. :-)

Hi Caroline!. I would first suggest you get on the internet, key in Natural Health and go to several of the websites and look up "Parabens", read all the pros and cons to make up your own mind as to what your personal feelings are. If you are still in your production years, you might want to avoid as many products with the parabens as possible. I am in my senior years so I no longer have the hormones of my younger years. My Gynocologist suggested the Estriol cream to be applied topically twice a week, so I searched out the most natural formula and found Smoky Mountain. For Atrophic Vaginitis, both formulas seem to work equally as well. I ended up using the Paraben free formula because I feel the less toxins you put on or in your body the better. I hope this helps you decide.

My understanding is that it matches the ph of the vagina. However, I didn't find it as gentle as others have - I do experience irritation from this product sadly. I was hoping it would work but seems to be fine for many others.

I don't know about prescription plans for Risabal-ph cream. I used amantle before this, and had to ask for it at the pharmacy, but paid for it myself because it wasn't a prescription. Just assumed that this cream was in the same category.

I'd contact combi & see if they'll sell you one. I got red so it could be used for either sex.

I honestly dont know the difference. I got the blue one for my dad who had anal fissures and emuaid was very extremely effective

I don't know for sure, but I don't feel a difference. I couldn't find the same eye cream online so I buy that in the mall and the facial cream online. I can't afford both from the mall :-)

All they say on their website is that it is a plant based estrogen. Check it out here -https://www.smokymountainnaturals.com/products/all-products/for-women/all-products/4-creams-lotions/P18-natural-estriol-creamSorry that I cant be of more help. Possibly you could call them to find out? If you do please post the information for everyones benefit.

yes, but if your f ace is sensitive I would go for a facial lotion. If you want to stick with Designer Skin products I would for Saving Face or my personal favorite, Hempz hydro-balance facial moisturizer

I had menopause that made it difficult for me to function! My regular obgyn knew of these kinds of products but not enough to feel comfortable prescribing. So, I found an excellent doctor who is an MD but also a PhD who did all of the test. Initially Dr Blackmun gave me bio-identical prescription cremes that I had filled at a special pharmacy. These initial formulas were much stronger than these over the counter products. But after about a year, I "graduated" to these over the counter products and they work for me. BUT, I would really want to know my hormone levels before using products. these are very powerful and do work! Good luck!! I had menopause that made it difficult for me to function!

The difference is they are probiotics specifically made for the vagina. I never combined with any other this one worked for me to prevent uriniary and yeast infections. You could double up on another probiotic if your not getting enough from this one. These really are amazing tho, the perfect pearl for us ladies.
