Description
What Is Elleste Conti?
Elleste Conti is a continuous combined hormone replacement therapy (HRT) tablet for postmenopausal women. It contains two hormones: estradiol (oestrogen) and norethisterone (progestogen). Elleste Conti is designed for women who have not had a period for at least one year.
What Is Elleste Conti Used For?
Elleste Conti helps manage menopause symptoms and protects the womb lining. It may:
- – Reduce hot flushes and night sweats
- – Ease mood swings and irritability
- – Relieve vaginal dryness and discomfort
- – Support better sleep and emotional well-being
- – Offer a simple, once-daily HRT option without monthly bleeding
Therefore, many women find this treatment a convenient long-term solution.
How Does Elleste Conti Work?
Elleste Conti replaces falling oestrogen levels and protects the womb lining from thickening. The oestrogen relieves menopause symptoms, while the progestogen reduces cancer risk linked to oestrogen use alone. As a result, this treatment offers a balanced and continuous form of HRT. However, you should always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully when starting treatment.
