Ingredients/Content

Active ingredients: 1 tablet Estradiol 1mg

Pharmacological action

Progynova is a hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It contains estrogen, a female hormone. Your ovaries gradually produce less of this hormone as you age and will no longer produce it after going through menopause. During menopause, the amount of estrogen produced in a woman's body decreases. This can cause symptoms such as a hot face, neck, and chest ("facial flushing"). Progynova relieves these symptoms after menopause.
