Elleste Duet 1mg tablets

Elleste Duet is a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It contains two types of female hormones, an

oestrogen (estradiol hemihydrate) and a progestogen (norethisterone acetate).

Elleste Duet 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"). Elleste Duet alleviates these

symptoms after menopause. You will only be prescribed Elleste Duet 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 Elleste Duet 2 mg to prevent osteoporosis after menopause.
