1.
WHAT SENSHIO_ _IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Senshio contains the active substance ospemifene. Ospemifene belongs
to a group of medicines that
do not contain hormones called Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators
(SERMs).
SENSHIO IS USED TO treat women with moderate to severe post-menopausal
symptoms in and outside
the vagina, such as itching, dryness, burning and pain during sex
(dyspareunia). This is known as
vulvar and vaginal atrophy. It is caused by a lowering in the levels
of the female hormone oestrogen in
your body. When this happens, the vaginal walls can become thinner.
This happens naturally after
menopause (post-menopause).
SENSHIO WORKS in a similar way to some of the helpful effects of
oestrogen, helping to improve these
symptoms and the underlying causes of vulvar and vaginal atrophy.
