Frequently asked questions

What is Intrarosa 6.5 mg used for?+
Intrarosa 6.5 mg is used to treat moderate to severe painful sexual intercourse (dyspareunia) in postmenopausal women. This condition is often caused by vulvar and vaginal atrophy, which results from the natural decline in estrogen levels during menopause. The medication helps improve vaginal tissue and reduce pain during intercourse.
How does prasterone work?+
Prasterone, the active ingredient in Intrarosa 6.5 mg, is a manmade form of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Once administered vaginally, prasterone is converted into active sex hormones, including estrogen and testosterone, in the vaginal tissues. This process helps restore the vaginal epithelium, improving lubrication and elasticity, which alleviates symptoms of vulvar and vaginal atrophy.
What is the usual dose of Intrarosa 6.5 mg?+
The usual dose of Intrarosa 6.5 mg is one vaginal insert placed into the vagina every day at bedtime. The prescriber will determine the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment based on the individual's needs and response to the medication.
Is Intrarosa 6.5 mg safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Intrarosa 6.5 mg should not be used by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. The medication is specifically indicated for postmenopausal women and is not recommended for use during pregnancy or while nursing due to potential risks to the developing fetus or infant.
