Indivina

Description

Indivina is a medication that combines estradiol and medroxyprogesterone to help manage symptoms of menopause in women. Estradiol is a form of estrogen, while medroxyprogesterone is a progestin. These hormones work together to relieve hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and other menopausal symptoms. Indivina is suitable for women experiencing menopausal symptoms who have not had a hysterectomy.

If you experience any unusual symptoms or have concerns about your dosage, contact your healthcare provider.
