How it works:
Estradiol, the main ingredient of Estova, is a bioidentical estrogen that works like the body's own hormone.
It sticks to estrogen receptors in different tissues, like the brain, bones, skin, and reproductive organs, and brings hormones back into balance.
Helps control the metabolism of calcium and lipids, which keeps bones strong and hearts healthy.
Works on thermoregulatory centers and vaginal tissues to ease menopausal symptoms.
Faq for medicine:
Q1. What does Estova do?
A: It is used to replenish hormones in women going through menopause and to stop osteoporosis.
Q2: Is it safe to take Estova when pregnant?
A: No. Estova should not be taken during pregnancy and should only be given to women who have gone through menopause.

A: How long it lasts depends on how bad the symptoms are and what the doctor says. Most women only use it for a short time (3–5 years) and are checked on regularly.
Q4. Is it possible for Estova to cause cancer?
A: Using estrogen for a long time, especially without progesterone, raises the risk of getting breast and uterine cancer. Always listen to your doctor and get regular checkups.

A: Drinking in moderation is fine, but too much alcohol can throw off your hormone balance and put more strain on your liver.
