Elleste Solo MX (Estradiol) Patches are a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It is a transdermal patch that contains the female hormone Oestrogen-Estradiol. It is used in menopausal women to relieve symptoms after menopause.
The primary female sex hormone, estradiol, a type of oestrogen, is the main active ingredient. It controls both the development of secondary sexual traits in females as well as the regulation of the menstrual cycle. However, the ovaries start producing less oestrogen as women approach menopause, ultimately ending the menstrual cycle. Women can experience a lot of discomfort and issues at this time since the body is changing, causing the hormone levels to vary unpredictably.
The time between each menstrual cycle lengthens and becomes irregular as the body enters menopause. Other signs and symptoms include:
- Hot Flushes
- Lack of Energy
- Weight Gain
- Breast Pain
- Headaches
- Sore Joints
- Heart Palpitations
How does Elleste Solo MX work?
Hormone replacement therapy is carried out with Elleste Solo MX (HRT). In order to compensate for the body's decreased oestrogen production, Elleste solo MX contains a synthetic form of oestrogen which substitutes the missing oestrogen. Since the majority of menopause-related issues result from the body adjusting to lower oestrogen levels, replacing it with a synthetic supply will ultimately alleviate symptoms.
