What DUAVIVE is and what it is used for
DUAVIVE is a medicine that contains two active substances called
conjugated oestrogens and
bazedoxifene. Conjugated oestrogens is a medicine that belongs to a
group of medicines called
hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Bazedoxifene belongs to a group of
non-hormonal medicines
called selective oestrogen receptor modulators (SERMs).
DUAVIVE is used in postmenopausal women who still have their uterus
(womb) and have not had a
natural period in the last 12 months.
DUAVIVE is used for:
Relief of symptoms occurring after menopause
During the menopause, the amount of the oestrogen produced by a
woman’s body drops. This can
cause symptoms such as hot face, neck and chest ("hot flushes").
DUAVIVE alleviates these
symptoms after menopause. You will only be prescribed this medicine if
your symptoms seriously
hinder your daily life and your doctor determines that other types of
HRT are not appropriate for you.

Posology
For initiation and continuation of treatment of postmenopausal

The recommended dose is 0.45 mg conjugated oestrogens (CE) and 20 mg

taken, the patient should not take double the usual dose to make up
for missed tablets.
