Elleste Duet (Estradiol/Norethisterone) Tablets are a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Containing two types of female hormones, an oestrogen (Estradiol Hemihydrate) and a progestogen (Norethisterone).

Ellest Duet is used for the relief of symptoms caused by menopause when the amount of oestrogen produced naturally by the woman's body drops. 

These symptoms could include:

• Vaginal dryness or atrophy
• Hot flushes and night sweats
• Weak or brittle bones

• Moodiness and irritability

 Ellest duet has two strengths; Ellest Duet 1mg and Ellest Duet 2mg tablets. Both strengths include two different tablets – the first, estradiol only tablet and the second tablet contains estradiol and norethisterone.

Additionally, oestrogen promotes womb lining growth. This can raise the risk of endometrial cancer if allowed to accumulate. By inducing a monthly bleed, the progestogen supplement in Elleste Duet counteracts this effect and lowers the risk of endometrial cancer. When taking
