How does it work?

During menopause, oestrogen levels decrease. Therefore, it may cause irritation, vaginal dryness, reduced libido, and fatigue. Elleste Duet Conti helps replenish the oestrogen levels in your body and relieve the symptoms of menopause you experience. 

High oestrogen can cause womb cancer because of excessive womb lining growth (endometrium). However, Elleste Duet reduces the risk of womb cancer. It contains norethisterone, which balances oestrogen effects and prevents cancer. Thus, it is the most effective combined hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Further, women who have a history of hysterectomy can use oestrogen-only HRT, as it is progestogen free.
