A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is used to treat a particular condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.
Miscellaneous vaginal agents generally include products with female sex hormones (either a combination of estrogen and progestin or just estrogen). These agents work locally and may be absorbed systemically as well to replace low levels of hormones during menopause. These vaginal agents are used to treat menopausal symptoms such as vaginal dryness, itching and burning.
