About Zumenon

Zumenon is a type of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It is one of the most powerful forms of HRT as it contains a synthetic form of oestrogen known as estradiol.

Zumenon helps balance the levels of oestrogen that are known to decrease significantly before menopause even begins. This gradual drop leads to severe physical symptoms that can disrupt one's day-to-day life. However, when Zumenon stabilises oestrogen in the body, it helps alleviate such distressing symptoms that may occur. Symptoms like hot flushes, night sweats and vaginal dryness are common instances. Keep in mind that there are lots of assorted menopause symptoms that women can go through before, during and after menopause. Also, Zumenon may be used by individuals with an intact womb (uterus). 

You can find Zumenon in two different types. The main difference lies in the mg present in the tablets. Therefore, you will either be prescribed 1 mg or 2 mg of Zumenon. Your primary doctor will determine the appropriate dose, and it may be required to be reviewed regularly to ensure whether it is the correct strength for you.

Zumenon Summary Information

The information provided in the summary table is for reference only. It is important to consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any menopause treatment, including Zumenon.

What is Zumenon used for?

As mentioned, the primary use of Zumenon is treating menopausal symptoms. It provides relief for symptoms like hot flushes, night sweats, sleeping disorders, vaginal dryness, irritation in the vagina, low libido, intense headaches or migraines, mood swings, irritability, anxiety or nervousness, bloating or issues with the stomach like digestive problems, thinning in hair, aching in joint, and fluctuation in weight.

Patients are often prescribed a progestogen along with Zumenon since it does not contain progestogen. This particular hormone protects the lining of the uterus from excessive growth. 

It is crucial to note that Zumenon is unsuitable for birth control since it is an HRT and does not have a chance of restoring fertility.

How does Zumenon work?

Estradiol is a naturally occurring female sex hormone which is known as oestrogen. In essence, it is the same hormone that your ovaries produced before your body entered menopause. This medication works by producing the hormone for your body to maintain the balance it previously had. This, in return, reduces symptoms of menopause and alleviates painful signs.

What does Zumenon contain?

It is always a good idea to check out what a medication contains before you start taking it. This proves beneficial in cases where people are allergic to a specific ingredient in the medicine. 

First, each Zumenon tablet contains the active ingredient known as estradiol hemihydrate. The key difference between the Zumenon 1mg tablets and 2mg tablets is that Zumenon 1mg contains only 1mg of the active ingredient, estradiol hemihydrate. In contrast, Zumenon 2mg tablets contain precisely 2mg of estradiol hemihydrate.

One Zumenon tablet contains active ingredients like lactose, hypromellose, maise starch,  magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide (E171), colloidal anhydrous silica, and macrogol 400.

Who can use this treatment?

Zumenon is not suitable for everyone. There may be a risk of contraindications or interactions. Not only that, but certain medical conditions can increase the risk of health complications. Zumenon is not for you if you:

• Have a history of breast cancer
• Have a history of endometrial cancer
• Have unexplained vaginal bleeding
• Have a history of blood clots
• Have a blood clotting disorder
• Had a recent heart attack, stroke or angina
• Have a history of liver disease
• Are currently pregnant
• Are trying to conceive

Zumenon alternatives

Zumenon has multiple alternatives that may be better suited for individuals who can not take Zumenon. Precise alternatives of Zumenon are Elleste Solo and Progynova, which are different brands of HRT; however, since they contain the same active ingredient as Zumenon, they work similarly.

Since these HRTs are so similar in nature, your GP may prescribe any one of them for you. Therefore, you will not experience any unexpected side effects.

How long does Zumenon take to work?

In general, it takes Zumenon a week to work. However, you will experience a significant improvement regarding the symptoms during the initial weeks of treatment.

However, you may also experience a variety of side effects during these weeks. This is because, during this time, your body adjusts to the restored hormone levels.

Note that it can take up individuals three or four months to experience the full benefit of Zumenon.
