Description of Progynova 0.5mg
Progynova 0.5 is an estrogenic hormone replacement therapy (HRT) designed to compensate for estrogen deficiency. It helps reduce LDL cholesterol levels, alleviates menopausal symptoms (somatic, mental, and physical), and prevents osteoporosis by maintaining bone mass. This therapy lowers the risk of cardiovascular diseases and, when combined with gestagen, prevents endometrial proliferation. Progynova is beneficial for pre- and postmenopausal women experiencing estrogen-related deficiencies. It should be taken under medical supervision for effective symptom relief and optimal hormonal balance.
