Generic ingredients: Estrogen, Progestin
This medication is designed for use in hormone replacement therapy.
It combines a form of estrogen with a substance that acts like progesterone.
Activella relieves the symptoms of menopause, and is prescribed to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. (Activella is also used for vaginal atrophy.)
Estrogen, when taken by itself, poses an increased risk of uterine cancer. The progestin in
this product largely counteracts this effect.
ADULTS
The recommended dose is one tablet daily. |
