Description
Activelle contains two active ingredients: estradiol (an estrogen) and norethisterone acetate (a progestogen). Estradiol is identical to the endogenously produced hormone and helps in replenishing the decrease in estrogen experienced during menopause. Norethisterone acetate is a synthetic form of progesterone, which complements the action of estradiol by providing endometrial protection, thereby reducing the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and cancer.
The balanced combination of these hormones helps in relieving the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause by replacing the estrogen that the ovaries no longer produce. It’s available in the form of tablets, which are usually taken orally.
