I’ve noticed my girlfriend has been taking Estradiol Valerate Tablets (Progynova) recently. I understand this medication is used to supplement estrogen, but she doesn’t appear to have any health issues. Could you please explain the specific indications and effects of this drug?

Hello,
Progynova’s main active ingredient is estradiol valerate, a form of estrogen that closely resembles the natural estrogen produced by the human body.
It promotes the development of female genital organs and breasts, induces artificial menstruation, supports the development of secondary sexual characteristics in females, and alleviates menopausal symptoms. It also inhibits bone resorption, thereby helping to prevent or delay the onset of osteoporosis, and improves lipid profile.
We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
