1. What Femoston is and what it is used for
Femoston is a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It contains two types of female hormones, an oestrogen called estradiol and a progestogen called dydrogesterone. Femoston is used in postmenopausal women with at least 6 months since their last natural period.

Femoston 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"). Femoston alleviates these symptoms after menopause. You will only be prescribed Femoston if your symptoms seriously hinder your daily life.

Prevention of osteoporosis After the menopause some women may develop fragile bones (osteoporosis). You should discuss all available options with your doctor.
If you are at an increased risk of fractures due to osteoporosis and other medicines are not suitable for you, you can use Femoston to prevent osteoporosis after menopause.
