Remarks

Unlike conventional medications, which are utilized to subdue menopausal symptoms, R10 does not contain any hormones or hormone-like substances.  However, the additional use of such medications will not adversely influence the biological effectiveness of R10.  In most cases, though, additional use of these substances is unnecessary.

R10 has been demonstrated to be effective in disorders of the female reproductive system, especially in cases of vaginal discharge.
