Progynova 2mg Tablet

Introduction

Progynova 2mg Tablet is a medication that contains Estradiol, a form of estrogen, which is a female hormone. It is primarily used for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to treat symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Progynova is also used to manage other conditions caused by low estrogen levels, such as preventing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. This tablet helps to restore hormonal balance and alleviate menopausal discomforts.

Uses of Progynova 2mg Tablet

Progynova 2mg Tablet is used for the following:

• Relieving symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes and vaginal dryness.
• Preventing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
• As part of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women who have had their uterus removed.
• To help manage menstrual disorders in certain conditions, such as in women with insufficient estrogen production.

How it Works

Progynova 2mg Tablet works by replenishing estrogen levels in the body. Estradiol, the active ingredient, mimics the natural estrogen that the ovaries produce. By increasing estrogen levels, Progynova helps relieve menopause-related symptoms, reduces bone loss, and lowers the risk of osteoporosis. It may also promote a healthier balance in the uterine lining and improve overall hormonal function.
