Indications

Dienogest + Estradiol Valerate is used for relief of post-menopausal symptoms linked to a drop in estrogen hormones, including hot flushes and vaginal dryness. It is also used for women who want menstrual bleeding to stop completely after it has kept coming back on and off because menopause is close. And it is meant for women whose menopausal symptoms get in the way of their normal daily activities.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

This medicine is an antiandrogenic gestagen, and it helps reduce and ease the menopausal symptoms that cause women distress. It is a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and contains two types of female hormones, an oestrogen and a progestogen. It is used in postmenopausal women who still have their uterus and whose last natural period was at least 12 months ago.

The two active components, estradiol valerate and dienogest, are combined to reduce the red flushes, vaginal dryness and irritation that women commonly have after menopause. Oestrogen serves numerous body processes. One of them is controlling the hormones released by the pituitary gland (the gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone), which rise after menopause. Oestrogen works by lowering the level of these hormones.

Dienogest is a progestin that works by binding to the progesterone receptor. It changes the secretory function of the endometrium and protects against endometrial proliferation. Together, these 2 substances prevent the return of menstrual bleeding, which usually happens with sequential Hormone Replacement Therapy.
