WHAT IS THIS MEDICINE INTENDED FOR?
Novofem is intended for:
•
relief of symptoms which are caused by the drop in the level of the
hormone estrogen in
postmenopausal women whose womb is intact
•
prevention of osteoporosis (bone thinning) in postmenopausal women at
high risk of future fractures,
who cannot be treated with other medicines for this condition.
The experience treating women older than 65 years is limited.
THERAPEUTIC GROUP: sequential estrogen and progestagen products.
Novofem is a sequential combined hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
which is taken every day without
interruption. Novofem is used in postmenopausal women with at least 6
months since their last natural
period.
Novofem contains 2 hormones, estrogen (estradiol) and a progestagen
(norethisterone acetate). The estradiol
in Novofem is identical to the estradiol produced in the ovaries of
women and is classified as a natural
estrogen. Norethisterone acetate is a synthetic progestagen, which
acts in a manner similar to progesterone,
another important female sex hormone.

The progestagen is added for 12 days of every 28 day cycle, in a
sequential manner.
One tablet is taken daily in the following order: oestrogen therapy

film-coated tablet).
After intake of the last white tablet, treatment is continued with the
first red tablet of a new pack on

beginning of a new treatment cycle.

in transition from another
sequential HRT regimen, treatment should begin the day following
completion of the preced
