this product is able to be sourced and supplied at excellent prices because of favourable cross border currency conversions. the white tablets contain estradiol valerate and the pale brown tablets contain estradiol valerate in combination with norgestrel. oestrogen supplements help prevent bone loss and fractures that may occur in women in the years after menopause. each pack contains two types of tablets.

oestrogen (in this case in the form of estradiol valerate) can be given as a supplement to replace the falling levels in the body and help reduce these distressing symptoms of the menopause.

women considered to be at high risk of developing fractures following the menopause include those who have had an early menopause, those with a family history of osteoporosis, those who have had recent prolonged corticosteroid therapy (eg prednisolone), those with a small thin frame, and smokers.second-line option for preventing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women who are at high risk of fractures and cannot take other medicines licensed for preventing osteoporosis.

cyclo-progynova is a sequential form of combined hrt.

however, in december 2003, a review of the available evidence on the risks and benefits of hrt by the medicines and healthcare products regulatory agency (mhra) and the committee on safety of medicines (csm) in the uk, concluded that the risks of using hrt long-term to prevent osteoporosis in women aged over 50 years exceed the benefits. hrt is usually only required for short-term relief from menopausal symptoms and its use should be reviewed at least once a year with your doctor

a progestogen (in this case in the form of norgestrel) is needed as part of hrt for women who have not had a hysterectomy. the declining level of oestrogen at menopause can affect the bones, causing them to become thinner and more prone to breaking.

hrt is also sometimes used to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

womens' ovaries gradually produce less and less oestrogen in the period up to the menopause, and oestrogen blood levels decline as a result. estradiol valerate (previously spelt oestradiol valerate in the uk) and norgestrel are forms of the main female sex hormones, oestrogen and progesterone. all products are authentic brand names and will include a product information insert in english. after these 21 days you then have a seven day tablet-free break before the next cycle is started, rather like the combined contraceptive pill.

what is it used for?hormone replacement therapy to relieve symptoms of the menopause. this is known as combined hrt. this means that oestrogen is taken on a continuous basis and progesterone is added for a portion of each month. as a result, this medicine should not be used as a first-line option for preventing postmenopausal osteoporosis in women over 50. the declining levels of oestrogen can cause distressing symptoms, such as irregular periods, hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings and vaginal dryness or itching.
