About Femoston 0.5/2.5 mg Mini Tablet

Femoston 0.5/2.5 mg Mini Tablet is a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) used to treat postmenopausal symptoms and prevent osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones) caused by menopause in women. Post-menopause is a condition in which women have not had a period for 12 months or more. During menopause, estrogen levels decrease, leading to hot flushes (feeling of heat over the face, neck, and chest). Women with menopause are at risk of developing osteoporosis (thinning of bones). Femoston 0.5/2.5 mg Mini Tablet can be used to prevent osteoporosis after menopause. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens and thins bones by decreasing bone density which is common in post-menopausal women.
