Introduction

Progynova, Estradiol is a tablet form of the hormone called estrogen that is taken usually as a replacement therapy after experiencing menopause. It is a drug that is helpful in relieving problems faced by women after their regular menstrual cycle stops. Symptoms like hot flushes, dizziness, headaches, or dryness and burning sensation of the vagina are treatable with the use of this tablet form of estrogen. It can be safely used by many women under the proper guidance of a gynaecologist or a physician.

Use

Natural hormone replacement therapy is the most common indication for this drug. After the menstrual cycle stops, patients will suffer from symptoms like dizziness, irritability, hot flushes, sleep disturbance, vaginal dryness, or urinary problems. To counter such symptoms, this drug is usually prescribed by the doctor. The drug acts like the natural estrogen for which it has many beneficial effects.

Dosage and administration

The tablet form of the drug is available in dosages of 1 mg or 2 mg, which can be taken by patients as prescribed by the physician. Generally, it is taken orally with water or milk, after a meal, at a dosage of 2 mg once per day. The tablet should be swallowed whole with milk or water. Do not chew the tablet. Usually, this drug should be taken in the long term under the proper advice of a physician to reduce the post-menopausal symptoms. If required, the dosage can be reduced to the 1 mg tablet, once per day.

Patients with coronary heart disease or liver problems are not advised to take this drug.
Pregnant or breast feeding women should not be taking this drug.

excellent quality

I have been on this product for 15 years due to surgery. I was very happy to find it on line here since I've been without insurance for quite sometime. I find this medication to be just as good as the one I picked up at the pharmacy. This website is very convenient, has products reasonably priced and has great customer service; and I've never had a problem receiving my order.

Great Pharma vendor!

I have been using Buy-Pharma for my estrogen replacement for some time now. They are overseas, but they always sent everything complete and on time, and Robert always contacts me with an email to make sure it was me who ordered. This is a measure to protect against theft. Thank you Buy-Pharma! A+++++++++

Wasn't pleased.

I tried this pill about a year ago and it caused some uncontrollable bleeding for a day. I don't know how this pill would effect other women but I won't be trying it again. The only positive thing I have to say about it is the pills are coated in a smooth sweet shell so it's easy to swallow. But I'll stick to my chalky pills to avoid that awful experience.
