## Pharmacist FAQs

### How does sage relieve menopausal symptoms?

Sage (Salvia officinalis) has traditionally been used to relieve excessive sweating, particularly in menopause. The action is not fully understood, but it is thought to affect thermoregulatory mechanisms in the brain affected by hormonal change. This relieves hot flushes and night sweats, some of the most intrusive symptoms.

### Is this a hormone replacement product?

No. Menoforce has no estrogen or progesterone in it. It's a herbal remedy, not HRT. So it's an option for women who can't - or don't - take hormone therapy, but not if HRT is indicated on clinical grounds.

### How long before it works?

Most start to feel better after 2–4 weeks, but this varies according to how well you respond. Herbal products take slightly longer to have an effect than prescription ones, so be patient. It probably won't work for you if you derive no benefit after 8 weeks.

### Can I take this with HRT or other menopause treatments?

If you’re already on [HRT](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/treatment/family-and-sexual-health/womens-health/menopause-can-i-buy-hrt-from-the-pharmacy-308), check with your GP or pharmacist before starting Menoforce. There’s no known direct interaction, but taking both may not be necessary and could complicate symptom tracking. It should also not be combined with other herbal menopause products, like black cohosh or red clover, without medical advice.

### Are there any side effects?

Side effects are uncommon, but some people have reported mild stomach upset or [skin reaction](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/treatment/immune-and-allergies/allergies/antihistamine-for-rash-176). Stop taking tablets and contact your pharmacist if you notice a rash, itching, or illness after consuming the product.

### Who should not use it?

Avoid if you have an allergy to sage or any of the above ingredients. It's not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and it's not suitable for anyone under the age of 18. If you have epilepsy or are taking medication for fits, sage may not be best - check with your local health expert first.

### Can I use this long-term?

Yes, but only if it continues to work. If there is an ongoing or altering issue, it's worth reviewing medications. Regular usage is usually safe, but as with all herbal drugs and supplements, it must be reviewed periodically.

### Does it affect blood sugar, blood pressure or liver function?

Menoforce does not significantly affect [blood sugar](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/symptom/nutrition-and-wellness/nutrition-metabolic-health/low-blood-sugar-65) or [blood pressure](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/condition/chronic-health/cardiovascular/low-blood-pressure-hypotension-causes-and-symptoms) in healthy adults. There is no substantial evidence to link it with liver damage, but it's still best to be cautious if you have a history of liver disease - always check first.

### Can I drink alcohol with Menoforce?

Yes, but in moderation. Both sage and alcohol are broken down by the liver so that excessive drinking may increase the risk of side effects.

### Is it safe to use with other medications?

Generally, yes, but because it’s metabolised through the liver, there’s potential for interactions with medicines that affect cytochrome P450 enzymes. If you’re on long-term medication, particularly anticonvulsants or hormonal therapies, check with your pharmacist.

### Does it contain sugar?

Yes, Menoforce does include **sucrose laurate**, so if you have a sugar [intolerance](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/article/nutrition-and-wellness/nutrition-metabolic-health/food-intolerance) or are managing [diabetes](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/article/nutrition-and-wellness/nutrition-metabolic-health/diabetes-in-a-nutshell), you should consider this with your daily intake. It's a little bit per tablet, but it's something to be aware of.

Replens MD Vaginal Moisturiser with Applicator (35g, 12 Applications)

## Product Summary

[Vaginal dryness](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/treatment/family-and-sexual-health/womens-health/vaginal-dryness-how-to-treat) (vaginal atrophy) is a very common condition that can affect women of any age, and is also a natural part of the ageing process. Some of the common causes of vaginal dryness include:

- [Menopause](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/condition/family-and-sexual-health/womens-health/menopause)
- Childbirth and breastfeeding
- Tampon use
- Medications
- Excessive exercise
- [Stress](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/article/nutrition-and-wellness/mental-health/stress)

Vaginal dryness symptoms often include discomfort, itching, burning and pain during intercourse.

Replens MD Vaginal Moisturiser provides safe and immediate relief from the discomfort of vaginal dryness and vaginal atrophy.

Unlike most other lotions or personal lubricants, Replens MD provides soothing, clinically proven relief to naturally restore vaginal moisture for days.

Its 2-in-1 effective formula treats vaginal dryness in 3 steps by:

- replenishing vaginal moisture
- rejuvenating the existing dry cells
- supplementing the body's natural lubrication.

Long lasting: just one application lasts for three full days.

This product is non-hormonal and oestrogen free

## Directions

- Use with the re-usable applicator as instructed by the manufacturer's packaging.
- When applied internally just three times a week, ReplensMD™ provides continuous moisture and comfort. Its regular use helps to maintain vaginal health.
- The pre-filled applicators enable you to place, hygienically, the right amount of ReplensMD™ exactly where it is needed, high up inside the vagina.

## Warnings and Restrictions

- Some women notice a residue or discharge after the initial use of Replens.
- This is caused by the elimination of dead skin cells.
- Your body naturally sheds dry vaginal tissue that has built up over time.
- When used on a regular basis, Replens will help prevent the build-up of dead skin cells and the discharge should dissipate.
- If the discharge does not dissipate, you may wish to wait for an extra day or two between applications.
- While use is recommended every three days, every woman is unique and you may wish to increase or decrease the amount of time between Replens applications to maximise moisture and minimise discharge.
- Please speak with your midwife or doctor if using this product while pregnant, to determine whether or not use with the applicator is suitable.
- Speak to a doctor first if needed by those under 18.
- Not suitable for those under 12 years

### Taking other medicines

It is unlikely that this product will interact with other medicines unless you are using another type of pessary at the same time.

Pharmacist FAQs Answered

## FAQs Answered by Pharmacists

### What type of cough is Robitussin Dry Cough Syrup used for?

Robitussin Dry Cough Syrup is used to relieve a dry, tickly, non-productive cough without mucus or phlegm. This type of cough is usually caused by irritation in the throat and can result from a cold or influenza. It contains dextromethorphan as a cough suppressant. That is, it works on the region of your brain that deals with the cough reflex and quiets it down. It does not work for chesty or "wet" coughs in which mucus needs to be coughed up. For chesty coughs, other medications with expectorant properties would be more suitable. If you are not certain if your cough is dry or not, ask your pharmacist.

### Can Robitussin Dry Cough be used at night to help sleep?

Yes, Robitussin Dry Cough Syrup can help reduce nighttime coughing, allowing for a more restful night's sleep. Although it is labelled as non-drowsy, we are all different, and if you consume it, you may feel slightly drowsy. Dextromethorphan suppresses the urge to cough, which can be extremely helpful if your cough is keeping you awake. That being said, because it can cause drowsiness in some people, take it during the day initially to see how it affects you. Do not drive or use machinery when you are drowsy. If your sleep is still being disrupted after a few nights, speak to a pharmacist or GP.

### Can teenagers take Robitussin Dry Cough Syrup?

Robitussin Dry Cough Syrup is only appropriate for children over 12 years and adults. It is available for teenagers as long as they use it as instructed and do not suffer from any of the indicated medical conditions or medication restrictions printed on the label. As the syrup contains dextromethorphan, there is a risk of abuse, especially among young drug abusers. It should only be used as indicated and no more than 4 times in 24 hours. Always take under supervision and consult a pharmacist if in doubt.

### Is it safe to take Robitussin with cold and flu medicines?

You should be careful while taking cold and flu medicines simultaneously with Robitussin Dry Cough Syrup. Many cold brands also contain dextromethorphan or similar in them, and taking more than one can result in side effects of dizziness, confusion, or nausea. Read the label or let your pharmacist review to ensure you're not duplicating. Stay away from medications that include alcohol or sedatives, as they can increase the risk of side effects. Always read dosage directions and allow doses to be spaced apart if you're taking more than one medication.

### Am I okay to take Robitussin when I have asthma or allergies?

If you suffer from asthma, especially severe or poorly controlled, consult with a physician initially before using Robitussin Dry Cough Syrup. It may not be suitable in the case of wheezing or mucus-related cough because suppressing a productive cough can worsen breathing. The product also contains amaranth (E123), a colouring agent whose allergic effects are known to occur in susceptible individuals. If you have a tendency to be allergic or have allergic asthma, check the entire list of ingredients and speak with your pharmacist before use.

### Why can't I take Robitussin when I'm taking antidepressants?

Robitussin Dry Cough Syrup contains a drug called dextromethorphan, which can interact lethally with some antidepressant drugs. In particular, drugs known as MAOIs and SSRIs raise the risk of serotonin syndrome, a severe brain and nervous system disorder. Symptoms may include agitation, sweating, tachycardia, and confusion. You should thus avoid taking this syrup if you are currently on, or have previously taken these medications in the last 14 days. Ensure you clear with your doctor or pharmacist in case you are unsure about your medication.

### How long does Robitussin Dry Cough Syrup?

You should not use more than 7 days of Robitussin Dry Cough Syrup unless a doctor advises you to. If your cough does not improve after a week, it may be a sign of an underlying condition, such as a chest infection, asthma, or acid reflux. If you develop a fever, rash, or headache, it is essential to see your doctor. Long-term use of cough medicine is generally avoided, as your body can develop a resistance. If your symptoms do not improve, a doctor or pharmacist can recommend the best treatment.
