What is Dydrogesterone, Estradiol | Estradiol?
Femoston is a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) containing estradiol and dydrogesterone. It is used to manage menopausal symptoms and support women's health during and after menopause.
What is Dydrogesterone, Estradiol | Estradiol used for?
Femoston is primarily used to alleviate symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. It combines estradiol, which replaces the estrogen that the body no longer produces in sufficient quantities, and dydrogesterone, a progestogen that supports endometrial health. This combination is often prescribed to women who have not had a hysterectomy. Femoston may also be used to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk of fractures.
