For:
Vaginal, 6.5 milligrams prasterone, once daily, over the duration of 6 months.
The recommended dose is 6.5 mg prasterone (one pessary) administered once daily, at bedtime.
For the treatment of postmenopausal symptoms, prasterone should only be initiated for symptoms that adversely affect quality of life.
