about intrarosa
What is INTRAROSA?
INTRAROSA is the only vaginal non-estrogen treatment for moderate to severe painful sex due to menopause.
INTRAROSA is made with a plant-derived form of DHEA combined with coconut and palm oils. In the same way as DHEA, your body naturally converts INTRAROSA into androgens and estrogens.*
*The mechanism of action of INTRAROSA is not fully established.
How is INTRAROSA different from lubricants?
Lubricants can moderately relieve symptoms of VVA, but INTRAROSA treats the underlying causes of painful sex due to menopause by improving the condition of the affected vaginal tissue.†
†Decreased percentage of parabasal cells, reduced vaginal pH, and increased percentage of superficial cells.
