Menopause pills

Unfortunately, there are no drugs that can "postpone" the onset of menopause. However, there are menopause pills that eliminate the unpleasant sensations associated with the onset of menopause. Such drugs may contain hormonal, herbal or synthetic components, as well as vitamins and microelements.

The choice of tablets or other drugs for menopause is made taking into account the indications and contraindications. Only in this case can you get the expected effect from the selected drug.

Indications for use

Menopause pills help to cope with unpleasant symptoms:

• sleep disorders;
• mood swings;
• irritability;
• depressive states;
• "tides";
• vaginal dryness;
• headache;
• pain in the heart area;
• increased blood pressure;
• redness of the skin, etc.

In addition, most menopause pills serve as a preventative for osteoporosis, which causes bone density to decrease and bone strength to diminish.

The most effective pills for menopause – what are they?

When choosing a drug that alleviates the symptoms of menopause, it is necessary to remember that hormonal drugs have a large number of side effects. Moreover, cases of individual intolerance, a tendency to allergic phenomena, the presence of background (especially chronic) pathologies, etc. are also taken into account.

Perhaps the easiest and safest to use are homeopathic and herbal medicines. However, not everyone trusts such medicines, and an allergy to these drugs is not excluded.

Often the same menopause pills are ideal and help some patients, but are absolutely useless for others. It is for these reasons that before using this or that remedy, a consultation with a qualified doctor is considered mandatory.
