About Estofol 2 mg Tablet

Estofol 2 mg Tablet is a hormone replacement therapy used in the treatment of the symptoms of menopause, osteoporosis, hypoestrogenism due to hypogonadism, and advanced androgen-dependent carcinoma of the prostate. Menopause is the stopping of a woman’s period for life and is marked after an entire span of 12 months without periods.

Estofol 2 mg Tablet is composed of Estradiol valerate that works by enhancing the lowered levels of the sex hormone oestrogen in the peri or post-menopausal female body. This helps combat the various symptoms of menopause such as vaginal dryness, hot flashes (hot face, neck and chest) and weak bones.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Post-Menopausal Syndrome: Menopause is the ceasing of a woman’s menstrual cycle around the age of 45-51. It is marked by an absence of periods for a consecutive time of at least 12 months. It is characterised by hot flashes, mood changes, decreased libido, changes in the skin, vaginal dryness and osteoporosis.  

Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that weakens and thins the bones by decreasing bone density. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break. Post-menopausal women are more likely to develop osteoporosis than men because, at menopause, women's ovaries stop producing oestrogen (a female hormone) that is essential to keep bones healthy. Following menopause, bone loss occurs, making bones weak and more likely to break. Signs and symptoms include back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra, loss of height over time, a stooped posture, a bone that breaks much more easily than expected.
