How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Estriol 1 mg Capsules are a form of hormone replacement therapy specifically designed to alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. The active ingredient, Estriol, is a type of estrogen naturally produced by the ovaries. These capsules are designed to be taken orally, allowing the Estriol to be absorbed into the bloodstream where it binds to estrogen receptors throughout the body.

By replacing the estrogen that is no longer being produced by the ovaries, Estriol helps to mitigate the discomfort associated with menopause. Additionally, Estriol can contribute to reducing the risk of osteoporosis, a condition often caused by low estrogen levels. The capsules are typically taken once a day, with or without food, and it is recommended to take them at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level of the hormone in the body.

However, it is important to note that Estriol should not be taken by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Women with a history of breast cancer, endometrial cancer, or other hormone-sensitive conditions should also avoid taking Estriol. If you have any questions or concerns about Estriol 1 mg Capsules, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.
