The drug "Femoston". Reviews, application

The drug "Femoston" belongs to the group of hormonal medicines. It has found wide application in gynecological and obstetrical practice, as well as for the prevention of osteoporosis. The medicine "Femoston", due to the content of the analogues of two female sex hormones, brings to balance the hormonal background of a woman during the onset of menopause. There is a substitution therapy for such female hormones as estradiol and dydrogesterone. In the blister are two types of tablets, one under the label "1", others under the number "2". Numbers mean the cycle periods according to which you need to take the tablets.

If you look more closely at the composition of "Femoston" tablets, it will look like this. The drug is produced in two versions, depending on the content of estradiol in it. In the first case, one tablet "Femoston" includes exactly 1 mg of estradiol (white tablets №1) and 10 mg of dydrogesterone (gray tablets №2). In the second variant, the tablet "Femoston" includes 2 mg of estradiol (pink tablets No. 1) and 2 mg of estradiol with 10 mg of dydrogesterone, which are contained in yellow tablets under No. 2.

How does Femoston work on the female body? Experts say that the estradiol contained in the preparation removes in the female body the deficiency of estrogens, which are necessary for the normal functioning of the vegetative-vascular system of the body. Thanks to hormones, metabolic processes in the skin, as well as mucous genitalia, proceed at a normal pace, lipid metabolism and calcium metabolism in bone tissue are also normalized with the use of the drug "Femoston". Reviews of patients who took the drug for a long time, indicate the disappearance of insomnia, mood swings, such familiar to many women "for 40" feelings of "hot flashes", excessive sweating and disruption of the heart. Moreover, many patients noted the disappearance of the symptoms of menopause within a week of taking the drug. Another hormone replacement, dydrogesterone, is a gestagen that ensures the safety of the cyclicity of processes in the endometrium. This is very important to reduce the possibility of malignant neoplasms.

Apply the drug "Femoston" according to the following scheme. If this drug contains 1 mg of estradiol, then from 1 to 14 days of the menstrual cycle, one tablet of white color is taken at the same time, and one gray tablet is taken until the end of the cycle. Similarly, the preparation "Femoston" with labeling 2/10 is administered. If there are no monthly ones, then you can start taking the drug any day. However, the dosage is appointed by the doctor in any case.
