Ospemifene is used to treat moderate-to-severe painful sex (dyspareunia) caused by vaginal atrophy after menopause. Vaginal atrophy happens when your estrogen levels drop (this drop occurs naturally as you age). Lower estrogen levels can dry out the vaginal walls, making intercourse more painful.

Ospemifene can't treat or reverse menopause itself, but it can help with symptoms such as:

• Vaginal dryness
• Burning or itching
• Pain during sex

Before starting ospemifene, let your provider know if you have or have ever had:

• Breast cancer, endometrial cancer, or other hormone-sensitive cancers
• A history of blood clots or stroke
• Unexplained vaginal bleeding
• Liver disease
  
  

You should not take ospemifene if you are pregnant or may become pregnant, as it may harm an unborn baby.

No, ospemifene is only available with a prescription. A licensed healthcare provider needs to determine if it’s right for you.
