Menopause is a natural life stage when a woman’s menstrual cycles end due to a decline in the hormones oestrogen and progesterone. This typically occurs when a woman reaches the age of 45-55 years and hasn’t experienced a menstrual period for over 12 months.
This means a woman will no longer ovulate and will begin to lose the functional effects of oestrogen and progesterone.

Elleste Solo HRT is a prescribed treatment and is available as a 1mg or 2mg tablet.
It is designed to relieve the symptoms of menopause and therefore improve your well-being, sense of self and quality of life.

Menopause symptoms occur when the levels of oestrogen begin to fall. This usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 years.
Oestrogen is an essential hormone for reproductive health and has other systemic beneficial effects.

Since Elleste Solo tablets balance the levels of oestrogen, it helps relieve symptoms such as vaginal dryness and irritation, hot flushes and altered mood.
Oestrogen also has positive health benefits, such as improved bone density and strength. This reduces your risk of osteoporosis as you age and makes you less prone to fractures.
Oestrogen is also known to have protective features for your cardiac health.
Elleste Solo tablets are an HRT, which is identical to the hormone oestrogen.
Oestrogen is an essential hormone for reproductive health and has other systemic benefits, such as bone strength and cardiac health.
This is why when oestrogen levels fall during menopause, you may begin to experience symptoms such as heat flashes, brain fog, vaginal dryness/irritation and reduced libido.
Elleste Solo contains ‘estradiol hemihydrate’. This is identical to oestrogen and helps rebalance the falling levels of oestrogen to relieve menopause symptoms.
Elleste Solo is an oestrogen-only HRT, which means women who have had a hysterectomy can take it on its own without a progesterone HRT.
If you haven’t had a hysterectomy, you may be prescribed a progesterone HRT as well.
