Pharmacological effect:
Estradiol, which is part of the drug Femoston® 1, is identical to human endogenous estradiol, which is the most active estrogen.
Estradiol makes up for estrogen deficiency in the female body in perimenopause (at the start of therapy not earlier than six months after the last menstruation) and in postmenopause, and reduces the clinical manifestations of postmenopause during the first weeks of treatment.
Hormone replacement therapy (SGT) with Femoston® 1 prevents bone loss in the postmenopausal period or after ovarioectomy.
Didrogesterone is a progestagen that is effective at ingestion and has similar activity to parenterally administered progesterone.
During GST, the inclusion of didrogesterone ensures a full secretory endometrial transformation, thereby reducing the risk of endometrial hyperplasia increased by the action of estrogen.
