Elleste Duet Tablets (1mg, 2mg & Conti)

Elleste Duet Tablets are a form of combined HRT containing two active ingredients: estradiol (a bioidentical form of oestrogen) and norethisterone (a synthetic progestogen). These tablets are available in various strengths (1mg, 2mg, and Conti) and are used to restore hormonal balance during menopause, easing symptoms like hot flushes and preventing osteoporosis.

Elleste Duet works by replacing the body's decreasing levels of oestrogen and progesterone. Estradiol mimics the body's natural oestrogen, while norethisterone counteracts the effects of oestrogen on the uterus, reducing the risk of endometrial cancer and balancing the menstrual cycle during menopause.

• Application Instructions:
  Take one tablet daily at the same time each day with a glass of water.
• Weekly Replacement:
  If you forget to take your tablet, take it as soon as possible unless it's been more than 12 hours since your last dose. Never double the dose.

  Continue taking the tablets until you finish the pack, then start a new pack immediately.
