Repagyn Information

RepaGyn (Sodium Hyaluronate) is a prescription vaginal suppository that helps to relieve dryness and helps to promote healing of vaginal mucosa caused by menopause, stress, and chemotherapy. As vaginal atrophy progresses, the vagina becomes dryer and shorter, and the opening starts to narrow. As the vagina loses its moisture and elasticity, sexual intercourse becomes more and more painful and may lead to vaginal bleeding. The active ingredient in RepaGyn is sodium hyaluronate. RepaGyn is formulated with sodium hyaluronate, a naturally occurring compound, and offers a hormone-free treatment alternative proven to deliver symptom relief, restore pH balance, and repair tissue in one ovule. Hyaluronic acid works by hydrating the tissue by drawing and retaining moisture in the vaginal environment. It has also been shown to accelerate the healing process mainly by facilitating the cell transportation of essential nutrients.
