Frequently asked questions

What is Novofem used for?+
Novofem is prescribed to relieve menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats, to replace deficient estrogen in women with hypo‑estrogenism, and to help prevent bone loss that can lead to osteoporosis after menopause.
How does estradiol / norethisterone acetate work in Novofem?+
The estradiol component binds to estrogen receptors, restoring hormonal activity that alleviates vasomotor and urogenital symptoms. Norethisterone acetate activates progesterone receptors, counteracting estrogen‑driven endometrial proliferation and reducing the risk of hyperplasia.
What is the usual dose of Novofem?+
The appropriate dose of Novofem is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the individual’s age, severity of symptoms, and overall health profile. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.
Is Novofem safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Novofem is generally not recommended for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding because hormonal therapy can affect fetal development and milk composition. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing should discuss alternative options with their healthcare provider.
How do I order Novofem from GNH USA?+
To request Novofem, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Novofem compare with other hormone replacement options?+
Novofem combines both estrogen and progestogen in a single tablet, which can simplify therapy compared with separate estrogen‑only products that require an added progestogen for endometrial protection. This combination may improve adherence but shares similar efficacy and safety profiles to other combined HRT regimens.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Novofem?+
Novofem tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in the original container to protect them from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use if the packaging is damaged.
How is Novofem administered?+
Novofem is taken orally, usually once daily, with or without food as directed by the prescriber. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water and not chewed or crushed unless specifically instructed.
What are the most serious risks associated with Novofem?+
Serious risks include thromboembolic events such as deep‑vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, stroke, and severe allergic reactions. Patients with a history of clotting disorders, cardiovascular disease, or estrogen‑dependent cancers should be closely monitored or may need alternative therapy.
Who should not use Novofem?+
Novofem is contraindicated in women with known or suspected estrogen‑dependent tumors, active or past thromboembolic disease, severe liver dysfunction, or unexplained vaginal bleeding. It should also be avoided in individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding unless a clinician determines the benefits outweigh the risks.
