How to use guide

Blissel is easy to use, and you should not feel uncomfortable when giving yourself the medication. One dose of Blissel is 1g (one applicator full) given as your prescription directs.

Blissel is inserted gently into the vagina using an applicator to ensure the medication is given where it is needed. You can usually do this in the evening before you go to bed.

Once you have given yourself the medication, the applicator can be washed clean for reuse.

More details can be found in the patient information leaflet, which is included in your medication packet.

Your doctor or nurse can also talk you through how to use Blissel.

If you have any concerns about your treatment or your medication, or if you experience any side effects, please discuss them with your doctor, nurse or pharmacist.

Patient information leaflet

Your medication will come with a patient information leaflet included in the packet. Keep hold of it so that you can look at it later if you need to.

Support Groups

There are a number of different groups that can provide you with help and support with the menopause and vaginal atrophy. These organisations can be really beneficial by providing a safe and caring place to talk about your symptoms, treatment and the effects that these have on you.

The NHS keeps a list of menopause help and support groups.

The Menopause Charity was founded to provide information, advice and support both to women with menopausal symptoms and healthcare professionals who want to provide the best evidence-based care for their patients.
