Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a female sex hormone that regulates many processes in the body.

Some estradiol products placed directly into the vagina are used for "local" treatment of vaginal menopause symptoms (such as dryness, burning, and irritation). Other vaginal estradiol products are used for treating vaginal menopause symptoms and symptoms that affect other parts of the body (such as hot flashes). This type of vaginal estradiol has "systemic" effects, meaning that it can affect parts of the body other than where the medicine is directly applied.

This medication guide provides information about Femring for systemic treatment of certain symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes and vaginal dryness, burning, or irritation.

Femring (systemic) may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
