How does Elleste duet work?

During a woman’s menopause, natural levels of oestrogen production begin to drop. Elleste duet contains two female hormones; an oestrogen (estradiol hemihydrate) and a progestogen (norethisterone acetate); which work to replenish a woman’s natural levels and offset the effects of menopause.

What are the benefits of taking Elleste duet?

Symptoms of menopause include hot flashes (of the face, neck and chest), irregular menstrual cycle, night sweats, weight gain, thinning of hair and mood changes.

These symptoms can often disrupt daily life so using HRT medication, such as Elleste duet, can restore the natural hormone balance.
