Contents of the pack and other information
1) WHAT PROGYNOVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT PROGYNOVA IS
Progynova is a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It contains the
female hormone, oestrogen. Your ovaries gradually make less of this
hormone as you get older and will no longer produce it after you have
been
through
the
menopause.
Progynova
can
be
used
in
peri-
and
postmenopausal women.
WHAT PROGYNOVA 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").
Progynova
alleviates
these
symptoms
after
menopause. You will only be prescribed Progynova if your symptoms
seriously hinder your daily life.
