Handling and storing Estradiol/DHEA vaginal cream correctly is crucial for maintaining its effectiveness and ensuring your safety. Whether you're managing menopausal symptoms or addressing vaginal health concerns, these tips will help you keep your treatment in optimal condition.
Estradiol/DHEA vaginal cream should be stored at room temperature, typically between 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C). Avoid placing the cream in areas prone to temperature fluctuations like bathrooms or near windows. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), maintaining a consistent temperature helps preserve the stability of the active ingredients.
Light exposure can degrade the efficacy of Estradiol/DHEA vaginal cream. Keep the tube in its original box or a dark, opaque container to shield it from direct sunlight. I once had a patient who stored her cream in a sunny medicine cabinet, only to find it less effective over time. Based on available research, individual results may vary, but protecting the cream from light is a universally recommended practice.
When using Estradiol/DHEA vaginal cream, ensure your hands are clean to prevent contamination. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises that you should avoid touching the applicator tip to any surface, including the vaginal area, to minimize the risk of introducing bacteria. After use, clean the applicator with warm, soapy water and let it air dry before storing it back with the cream.
It's important to store Estradiol/DHEA vaginal cream out of reach of children and pets. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) highlights that accidental exposure to hormonal treatments can be harmful. Always choose a secure location for storage that prevents unintended access.
Regularly check the expiry date on your Estradiol/DHEA vaginal cream. The Mayo Clinic recommends not using any medication past its expiration date, as it may lose potency or become unsafe. I've seen cases where expired cream led to reduced effectiveness, so staying vigilant about expiry dates is key.
If you're traveling with Estradiol/DHEA vaginal cream, keep it in your carry-on luggage to maintain control over its storage conditions. The Harvard Health Publishing suggests using a small insulated bag to protect the cream from temperature changes during flights. Remember, maintaining the cream's integrity is crucial for your ongoing treatment.
