Buy Femoston

Femoston (Dydrogesterone/Estradiol Hemihydrate) is used to relieve menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood swings in postmenopausal women at least 6 months after their last menses. It is also used to prevent osteoporosis, a common condition in older people that causes bones to become weak and brittle. It belongs to a group of medications called hormone replacement therapy. Femoston contains two hormones as its active ingredients: estradiol hemihydrate, which is an estrogen, and dydrogesterone, which is a progestin. Femoston works by replacing the estrogen and progestin that are no longer produced by the ovaries after menopause. The estrogen component replaces what the ovaries produce less of during menopause, while the progesterone-like hormone prevents overgrowth of the uterine lining. This combination aims to balance hormones and reduce discomfort associated with menopause.
