WHAT INTRAROSA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Intrarosa contains the active substance prasterone.
What Intrarosa is used for
Intrarosa is used to treat postmenopausal women having moderate to
severe symptoms of vulvar and
vaginal atrophy. It is used to relieve menopausal symptoms in the
vagina such as dryness or irritation.
It is caused by a drop in the levels of oestrogen in your body. This
happens naturally after the
menopause.
How Intrarosa works
Prasterone corrects the symptoms and signs of vulvar and vaginal
atrophy by replacing the oestrogens
which are normally produced before menopause by the ovaries of women.
It is inserted into your vagina,
so the hormone is released where it is needed. This may relieve
discomfort in the vagina.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE INTRAROSA
The use of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) carries risks which need
to be considered when
deciding whether to start taking it, or whether to carry on taking it.
The experience in treating women with a premature menopause (due to
ovarian failure or surgery) is
limited. If you have a premature menopause the risks of using HRT may
be different. Please talk to
your

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended dose is 6.5 mg prasterone (one pessary) administered
once daily, at bedtime.
For the treatment of postmenopausal symptoms, Intrarosa should only be
initiated for symptoms that
adversely affect quality of life. In all cases, a careful appraisal of
the risks and benefits should be
reassessed at least every 6 months and Intrarosa should only be
continued as long as the benefit
outweighs the risk.
If a dose is forgotten, it should be taken as soon as the patient
remembers. However, if the next dose is
due in less than 8 hours, the patient should skip the missed pessary.
Two pessaries should not be used
to make up for a forgotten dose.
_ _
_Special populations _
_ _
_Elderly _
No dose adjustment is considered necessary in elderly women.
_ _
_Patients with renal and/or hepatic impairment _
Since Intrarosa acts locally in the vagina, no dose adjustment is
needed for postmenopausal women
having renal or hepatic impairment or any other systemic anomaly or
disease.
_ _
_Paediatric population _
There is no relevant use of Intrarosa in female children of any age
group for the indication of vulvar
and vaginal atrophy due to menopause.
