Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: Primary: Evaluation of improved vaginal moisture in postmenopausal women.

Secondary: the improvement of symptoms resulting from the dryness Rating (VHI), evaluation of the decrease in vaginal pH, assessment of Sexual Function Index female (FSFI), evaluation of adherence to study treatment by patient diary, assessing the acceptability of the product and subjective assessment of the patient as the itching and stinging / burning, beyond the safety assessment.

Detailed description: ENDPOINT:

* Primary: Evaluation of improved vaginal moisture in post menopausal women through vaginal health index (VHI);
* Secondaryevaluate the increase in fluid volume, vaginal elasticity and integrity of the epithelium by the VHI, evaluate the pH control, improvement of female sexual quality by applying the Sexual Function Index female (FSFI), evaluate through the patient's daily treatment adherence, evaluate the acceptability (welfare, run-off and satisfaction) of the product and the improvement of itching and stinging / burning through questionnaires and verify the tolerability and safety by identifying adverse events.

STUDY DESING: Phase IV study, longitudinal, prospective, open label, non-comparative

POPULATION: Forty-six (46) post menopausal women with vaginal dryness

DRUG: Polimers and Sodium Lactate

TREATMENT: Only treatment - two weekly applications (monday and thursday or tuesday and friday) for 12 weeks

EVALUATION: The evaluation of the effectiveness will be held on all visits by medical clinical evaluation, evaluation of symptoms resulting from the dryness (VHI), pH evaluation (pH tape) and evaluation of female sexual quality (FSFI) and subjective evaluation as well as the compliance through the patient diary. The evaluation of the acceptability of the product will be the last visit by a questionnaire. The safety assessment will be carried out on all visits by identifying adverse events
