Femoston Estradiol 2 mg + Estradiol 2 mg + Dydrogesterone 10 mg - 28 Tablets

Product Overview:

• Femoston (Estradiol (2mg) + Estradiol (2mg) + Dydrogesterone (10mg) 2/10 Tablet is used for hormone replacement therapy. It is a combination of female sex hormones that helps in relieving symptoms like hot flushes, vaginal dryness and irritation in postmenopausal women.

How it works:

• Femoston 2/10 Tablet is a combination of two hormonal medicines: Estradiol and Dydrogesterone which are a part of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
• Estradiol works by restoring the falling levels of estrogen in the body which helps reduce distressing symptoms of menopause. However, it may affect the womb lining (endometrium) and increase the risk of endometrial cancer. Dydrogesterone is added to oppose the harmful effect of Estradiol on the womb lining and reduce cancer risk.

Benefits:

• Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment to relieve symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes (sudden feeling of warmth), night sweats, mood swings, depression, sleep problems, vaginal dryness and reduced sex drive.
