Estranor Tablet Uses

About Estranor Tablet

Estranor Tablet uses include hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms such as hot flushes, prevention of bone loss after menopause, and treatment of missed periods. It contains estradiol valerate, a form of the female hormone estrogen, and norgestrel, a progestogen that protects the lining of the womb. Use it only under medical supervision because hormone therapy needs regular check-ups and is not suitable for everyone.
