Estriol 2 mg Capsules are a form of hormone replacement therapy specifically designed to address various conditions associated with menopause. These conditions include vaginal atrophy, uterine prolapse, urinary incontinence, and dyspareunia. The active ingredient in these capsules is Estriol, a type of estrogen that plays a crucial role in regulating the female reproductive system.

It also has the potential to improve conditions like urinary incontinence and dyspareunia.

Estriol is available in various forms, including oral capsules, topical creams, and vaginal suppositories. However, the Estriol 2 mg Capsules are designed to be swallowed, providing a convenient and precise dosage of the active ingredient. It is crucial to take this medication as directed by your healthcare provider and at the same time each day to ensure its effectiveness.

It is important to note that Estriol should not be taken if you are pregnant or breastfeeding due to potential risks.
