Is Replens Safe To Use?
I am 60 years old. I am on Arimidex post breast cancer treatment and have tender skin in the vulva area, probably due to dryness. I use Replens regularly for my vaginal area, but wondered if there is a safe ointment or cream I could use to soothe this area. Thanks.

Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
Madam, I can understand your problem, nothing to worry!
Replens is a hormone free, safe medicament used to moisturize the vagina. Since you are receiving Arimidex for the post breast cancer treatment you should not use any cream or ointment which contains estrogen.
Replens does not contain any hormone so it is found to be safe for the treatment of dry vagina.
Regards!
