Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics.
Estradiol
The active ingredient, 17ß-estradiol, is chemically and biologically similar to endogenous human estradiol. Estradiol replaces the loss of estrogen production in menopausal women and relieves menopausal symptoms.
Dydrogesterone
Dydrogesterone is an active oral progestogen, the action of which is comparable to the action of progesterone administered parenterally.
Because estrogen stimulates endometrial growth, estrogen monotherapy increases the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and cancer. The addition of a progestogen to therapy significantly reduces the risk of estrogen-induced endometrial hyperplasia in women with a preserved uterus.
Clinical trial data
Reducing the symptoms of estrogen deficiency and improving the bleeding profile.
A reduction in menopausal symptoms was observed during the first few weeks of treatment.
When taking FEMOSTON® CONTI MINI from 4 weeks of treatment, the reduction in moderate and severe hot flashes was statistically significant compared with placebo. The number of moderate and severe hot flashes continued to decline until the end of the treatment period at 13 weeks. In two studies, amenorrhea (no bleeding or spotting) was seen in 91% and 88% of women, respectively, during the 10th to 12th months of treatment. Irregular bleeding and / or spotting occurred in 10% and 21% of women during the first 3 months of treatment, and in 9% and 12% during the 10-12 months of treatment.
