Clear Start Assessment

Progynova Tablets are a form of oestrogen-only hormone replacement therapy (HRT) designed to relieve symptoms associated with menopause. It is intended for use by women who have undergone a hysterectomy or who do not require progestogen therapy. Common symptoms targeted by Progynova include hot flushes, mood changes, night sweats, and vaginal discomfort.

How It Works
Each tablet contains estradiol valerate, a synthetic version of the natural hormone oestrogen. When taken, it is metabolised into estradiol, helping restore normal hormone levels in postmenopausal women. This replacement alleviates vasomotor and urogenital symptoms caused by low oestrogen. In some cases, Progynova is also used to help prevent bone loss (osteoporosis) in women who are unable to take other bone-sparing therapies.

Why Choose Progynova
Progynova offers flexible oestrogen-only therapy in a convenient once-daily tablet. It is particularly well suited for women without a uterus and can be used both short- and long-term under proper medical supervision. With a proven clinical track record, Progynova remains a trusted option in oestrogen replacement for symptomatic menopausal women.

Important Note
This medication should not be used by women with an intact uterus unless prescribed in combination with a progestogen. It is contraindicated in women with a history of breast cancer, blood clots, liver dysfunction, or unexplained vaginal bleeding. Ongoing review and monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential.
