Intrarosa (Prasterone)

Intrarosa is a prescription menopause treatment medication used for vaginal dryness relief to reduce incidences of painful sexual intercourse for women. It is a synthetic form of the DHEA hormone produced by a woman’s adrenal glands, and some of that DHEA is converted into estrogen and androgen hormones when a woman is younger and has not reached her menopausal years.

These hormones promote healthier vaginal tissue resulting in more vaginal lubrication, and the lack of them is what causes vaginal dryness during menopause. Using Intrarosa can be very effective for women to help with painful sex.

Directions

Standard Intrarosa dosage is one vaginal insertion applied once daily at bedtime.

Wash hands before every application.

Preparation: Remove one applicator from package and pull back on plunger until it stops to activate. Applicator must be activated before use. Place on a clean surface.

Slowly pull the plastic tabs away from each other with the insert between your fingers. Carefully remove it from the plastic wrap. Be sure to keep away from any unsanitary surface.

Place the flat end of the vaginal insert into the open end of the activated applicator.
