Estrace Vaginal Cream (generic name: estradiol) is a medicine that contains estrogen hormones.

Estrace Vaginal Cream contains estradiol, the primary estrogen hormone in premenopausal women. The medication is approved to treat vaginal inflammation caused by thinning of the vaginal tissues, usually the result of low estrogen levels after menopause.

Estrace Vaginal Cream is used to treat certain symptoms of menopause such as dryness, burning, and itching of the vaginal area. Estrace Vaginal Cream also reduces urgency or irritation of urination.

Estrace Vaginal Cream is ideal for women whose main menopause symptoms are vaginal in nature, since using the cream (instead of taking the hormones by mouth) exposes the body to a lower dose of the hormones.
