Hi, Ro,
I did a web search to try to find this information and found this listing on the HealthCentral site of medications for vaginal dryness. I'd suggest that you talk with your doctor to see if he or she can help identify the drug.
Take care!

Hi RO,
Some providers, especially those of us who use compounded drugs for menopausal issues, use the form of estrogen called estriol for vaginal dryness. I don't know if this is what you are referring to, but it can be very effective, especially in instances when estradiol is not. Testosterone in very low concentrations may be added to the estriol and is believed by many providers to enhance the effectiveness of the estriol alone.
Good luck to you in your search for information. I hope this is helpful,
