However, from mid February the availability of VagiVital® will be considerably improved in these pharmacies.

In addition to now being for sale in Kronans Apotek and Apoteksgruppen, VagiVital® can be purchased in 280 of Apoteket AB’s pharmacy retail shops and in its webshop, and from the webshops of Apoteket Hjärtat (www.apotekhjartat.se) and Kronans Apotek (www.kronansapotek.se) , and on www.apotea.sewww.meds.sewww.apotek365.se and www.apohem.se.

About VagiVital®

VagiVital®is a patent pending hormone free self-care product for the treatment of vaginal atrophy and vaginal dryness. The product has been tested in randomised clinical studies (vaginal atrophy) with very positive results both for objective (vaginal pH and proportion of superficial cells in the vaginal mucosa) and subjective (most bothersome symptoms, such as vaginal dryness, vaginal irritation/itching, dyspareunia and dysuria) parameters. The magnitude of symptom relief is on par with that demonstrated with e.g. prescription estrogen based products on the market today. It was very well tolerated and caused no serious adverse effects. 

VagiVital®was launched in Sweden as a non-prescription self-care product in July 2018 (see www.vagivital.com).
