Am I eligible for the Vagifem patient assistance program?

To find out if you are eligible for Vagifem assistance you can apply online using our enrollment application. Each pharmaceutical company sets its eligibility criteria, and we will review your application individually to determine if you may be eligible. The three main factors to consider are:

• I am a permanent, legal resident of the United States or Puerto Rico
• I am uninsured or my insurance doesn’t cover my medication
• I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for the Vagifem patient assistance program?

Our application process aims to make it as easy as possible to apply for the Vagifem patient assistance program. The first step is to complete our online enrollment application. We will ask you for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income as this information is required by the pharmaceutical companies. We may be able to help you apply for other patient assistance programs too, so be sure to tell us about any medications you are taking as well as Vagifem.

NiceRx will review your application and determine whether you may be eligible for Vagifem assistance. If so, we will handle the full enrollment process for you and prepare all required documents for your healthcare provider to sign. Once you are successfully enrolled in the Vagifem patient assistance program, we will help you manage your prescription refills by requesting refills on your behalf throughout your enrollment period. At the end of your enrollment period we will contact you for updated information and seek to re-enroll you so you can continue to access affordable Vagifem.

Vagifem prices without insurance will vary by retailer. As a guide, a Vagifem applicator with 8, 10 mcg Vagifem tablets typically costs around $200. 

What is Vagifem?

Vagifem is a prescription medication given to women who have been through the menopause. It’s used to treat vaginal changes called vaginal atrophy. The medication is a hormone replacement therapy that increases the amount of estrogen in and around your vagina, helping to ease and reverse your symptoms. 

Vagifem comes as a tablet that you insert into your vagina using the applicator that comes with your medication. You typically insert a Vagifem tablet once a day for the first two weeks, then one tablet twice a week for between three to six months. Your prescribing doctor will tell you how much Vagifem to take and for how long, based on your condition and medical history. Always take your Vagifem exactly as directed. 

Vagifem active ingredients

The active ingredient in Vagifem is called estradiol. This is a type of estrogen that’s found naturally in your body. Vagifem is a hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The estradiol it contains adds to the estradiol already in your body (replacing the hormone you lost after the menopause) and has the same effect on your body.

Vagifem side effects

The most common side effects caused by Vagifem include:

• Headaches
• Breast pain
• Bloating
• Stomach or abdominal cramps
• Feeling sick (nausea)
• Vomiting (being sick)
