3.3 IF YOU USE MORE OVESTIN THAN YOU SHOULD OR IF YOU SWALLOW IT
ACCIDENTALLY
If someone has swallowed some cream by accident, or too much cream is
applied at any time, there is no need to worry. However, you should
talk to
your doctor. The person may feel sick or be sick. Women may have some
vaginal bleeding after a few days.
3.4 IF YOU FORGET TO USE OVESTIN
•
Apply the missed dose when you remember, unless you are more than 12
hours late.
•
If you are more than 12 hours late just skip the missed dose.
3.5 IF YOU STOP USING OVESTIN
Keep using this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. Keep using
Ovestin,
even if you seem to be better. If you stop too early or too suddenly
your problem may return.
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
Like all medicines, Ovestin can cause side effects, although not
everybody
gets them.
SEE YOUR DOCTOR STRAIGHT AWAY, IF YOU NOTICE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS – YOUR DOCTOR MAY DECIDE TO STOP YOU USING THE
CREAM:
•
your blood pressure rises
•
your skin or the whites of your eyes go yellow (jaundice)
•
you suddenly have migraine-type headaches (see Section 2.4 above)
•
you have signs of a blood clot (see Section 2.4 above)
•
you have any of the problems listed in Section 2.1 above.
These side effects are rare.
OTHER SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDE:
•
irritation or itching of the skin in or around your vagina when you

gall bladder problems

using
combined HRT after the age of 65, a small increase in the risk of
dementia was observed.
