Elleste Duet Conti (Estradiol/Norethisterone) 2mg Tablets 84 is a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), it contains two female hormones an Oestrogen-Estradiol and a Progestogen-Norethisterone. It is used in postmenopausal women with at least one year since their last natural period to relieve the symptoms occurring after menopause.

Estradiol hemihydrate and norethisterone acetate are the two active components in Elleste Duet Conti Tablets. These are variations of oestrogen and progesterone, the two primary female sex hormones. A naturally occurring type of oestrogen is estradiol and s a synthetic form of progesterone called norethisterone.

As women approach menopause, their ovaries gradually generate less and less oestrogen, which causes their blood levels to drop. Because of this, the following uncomfortable symptoms might be brought on by oestrogen levels that are falling:

  • irregular periods
  • hot flushes
  • night sweats
  • mood swings
  • itchy or dry vagina

Estradiol can be taken as a supplement to replenish the body's declining levels and lessen these uncomfortable menopause symptoms. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is the term used to describe this. Menopausal symptoms are typically only temporarily relieved with HRT, and its use should be discussed with your doctor at least once a year.

For women who have not had a hysterectomy, a progestogen is required as part of HRT (in this case, norethisterone). This is due to the fact that in females with an intact womb, oestrogen stimulates the growth of the endometrium, which, if unchecked, can result in endometrial cancer. Progestogens are given to counteract oestrogen's impact on the uterine lining and lessen the chance of cancer, however, they do not completely eradicate it. This is referred to as combined HRT.

Elleste Duet Conti is a combined, continuous form for HRT. Estradiol and norethisterone are both present in equal amounts in each tablet, enabling daily administration of both hormones. Since this kind of HRT doesn't cause a monthly bleed, it is better suited for women whose natural periods have already stopped, such as postmenopausal women who have gone at least a year without experiencing a period.

In postmenopausal women, HRT may also be used to prevent osteoporosis. When oestrogen levels fall during menopause, the bones may be affected, becoming thinner and more brittle. Supplemental oestrogen helps women avoid bone loss and fractures that may happen in the years after menopause.

Message From Our Pharmacist

All hormone replacement therapy should be initiated after a discussion with a health care professional face to face as they will also need to take your blood pressure and weight. Blood tests may also be requested. This is followed after three months with a follow-up appointment. Online prescribing can only be done once this has happened.
