The estradiol tablets in Elleste Duet can increase the falling oestrogen levels in your body during menopause, relieving symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, vaginal itching and mood swings. Norethisterone is a synthetic type of the progesterone hormone that plays an important role in menstruation and pregnancy. As taking an oestrogen-only HRT could risk causing the build-up of the womb lining (endometrial hyperplasia), a combined HRT treatment that contains progesterone, like Elleste Duet, can help to shed your womb lining and avoid this problem.
