Vaginal Estrogen OTC

We want Novo Nordisk to launch their vaginal estrogen product, GINA (10 micrograms) in Ireland. This product is currently available over the counter, in pharmacies, in the UK.
Why is this important?
It's important for women to have easy access to this safe and effective product without needing a prescription. Pharmacists are well-equipped to screen patients and ensure there are no contraindications before use. Vaginal estrogen provides relief for many symptoms associated with low estrogen, such as vaginal dryness, pain, itching, discomfort during intercourse or exams, recurrent urinary tract infections, and bladder issues like urgency or leaking. These symptoms can affect up to 80% of women postmenopause, significantly impacting their quality of life.
