Description

What Are Elleste Duet 1mg, 2mg and Conti Tablets?

Elleste Duet 1mg, 2mg and Conti Tablets are all prescription-only medications used to treat symptoms of menopause. They contain the hormone oestrogen, which is a natural substance that helps to control the menstrual cycle and prevent health problems associated with menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats.

How Do Elleste Duet and Conti Tablets Work?

Elleste Duet 1mg, 2mg and Conti Tablets are hormone replacement therapy (HRT) treatments that work to reduce menopausal symptoms by replacing the hormones that are no longer being produced in the body. Menopausal symptoms occur due to a drop in the levels of estrogen and progesterone female hormones. Elleste Duet 1mg, 2mg and Conti tablets contain estradiol and norethisterone acetate hormones, which are a synthetic form of estrogen and progesterone female hormones. They replace the hormone levels in the body, thus reducing the symptoms experienced.

They are also used to treat osteoporosis, vaginal dryness, low libido, irritability, and night sweats.
