Description
Elleste Solo is an oral hormone replacement therapy (HRT) tablet that provides relief from symptoms caused by oestrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women. It is prescribed for women who have not had a period for at least 12 months and who require oestrogen-only therapy—typically those who have had a hysterectomy. Elleste Solo helps improve quality of life by relieving vasomotor symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. It may also be prescribed to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis in women at risk of fractures who cannot take alternative treatments.
How It Works
Each tablet contains estradiol hemihydrate, a synthetic form of the natural oestrogen hormone. After menopause, oestrogen levels drop, causing a range of symptoms and increasing the risk of bone loss. Elleste Solo replenishes these hormone levels, restoring hormonal balance and relieving common menopause-related discomforts. In addition to its effects on vasomotor symptoms, estradiol also supports the integrity of bone tissue, helping reduce the risk of fractures.
Why Choose Elleste Solo
Elleste Solo is a well-established and widely prescribed HRT treatment. It is available in two strengths—1 mg and 2 mg—allowing for tailored dosing based on symptom severity and tolerance. The once-daily tablet is convenient and easy to use, offering steady hormone delivery. Elleste Solo is often part of a broader HRT plan, either used alone in women without a uterus or in combination with a progestogen in women who still have one. It has a proven safety profile when used under medical supervision and is effective in improving both physical and emotional well-being during menopause.
