No, Intrarosa (prasterone) is a prescription-only vaginal insert used to treat moderate to severe pain during sex caused by menopause. Although DHEA is available in some over-the-counter products, these aren't FDA-approved to treat menopause-related pain during sex and shouldn't be used as substitutes for Intrarosa.

You can book a video visit with a provider on Sesame to discuss your symptoms and medical history. If Intrarosa is appropriate for you, your provider can send a prescription to your preferred pharmacy.

Not necessarily. Both Intrarosa (prasterone) and vaginal estradiol can help treat menopause-related vaginal symptoms, including pain during sex. However, there isn't enough evidence to say that one is consistently more effective than the other.

The right treatment depends on your symptoms, medical history, treatment preferences, and other health factors. A licensed healthcare provider on Sesame can help you decide which option is best for you.

There is no set time limit for using Intrarosa. It may be used long-term if it continues to help your symptoms and remains appropriate for you.

As part of routine healthcare, aim to check in with a healthcare provider about every 6 months to review your symptoms and whether to continue treatment.

Before starting Intrarosa, tell your provider about your medical history, especially if you have or have had breast cancer or other hormone-sensitive cancers, or liver disease. Unexplained vaginal bleeding must be evaluated before starting treatment.

Also tell your provider about any medications or supplements you take, including other hormone treatments.

Using Intrarosa with vaginal estrogen or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) hasn't been well studied, so combining these treatments is generally not recommended.

If you're already using estrogen, talk with your provider before starting Intrarosa. They can review your current treatment and help you decide which option is right for you.
