Femoston

Description

  • Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
  • For relief of menopausal symptoms
  • No tablet-free week

Femoston is a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) medication that contains two active ingredients, estradiol and dydrogesterone. Estradiol helps to replace the estrogen that your body is no longer producing adequately, relieving symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Dydrogesterone works to protect the lining of the uterus while taking estrogen. Femoston is suitable for women experiencing menopausal symptoms and looking for relief.
