Estrofem tablets contain oestradiol 1mg which is an estrogen steroid hormone involved in regulating the female reproductive cycle. Estrofem tablets are used as hormone replacement therapy to alleviate the side effects of menopause.
When menopause occurs the production of estrogen is decreased to very low levels giving rise to unpleasant symptoms such as hot flushing, vaginal dryness, bone loss, headaches, mood swings and sleeplessness. Estrofem tablets are also taken by male to female transsexuals to develop female body characteristics.
Typically, Estrofem tablets 1mg are taken once daily at the same time each day on a continuous basis to relieve symptoms.
