Department of Gynaecologic Obstetric and Reproduction Sciences, Second University of Naples, Naples, Italy. PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION: To verify the effectiveness and safety of low-dose 17beta-estradiol vaginal tablets in the treatment of the postmenopausal atrophic vaginitis.

Patients and

Methods:

325 postmenopausal women with atrophic vaginitis in estrogenic replacement therapy with 0.025 mg 17beta-estradiol vaginal tablets, one application each day for two weeks, and a single application two times a week for the following 22 weeks (total treatment period: 24 weeks).

Results:

Most of the women reported an improvement of symptoms just after two weeks and minimal incidence of adverse reactions. No patients showed abnormal endometrial thickness and no one had to interrupt the treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding because of systemic absorption.

Conclusion:

Low-dose 17beta-estradiol vaginal tablets in the treatment of the postmenopausal atrophic vaginitis constitutes an extremely valid approach in terms of effectiveness and safety.
