Elleste Solo is an oestrogen-only hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in tablet form. During the menopause, the amount of the oestrogen produced by a woman’s body drops. This can cause symptoms such as hot face, neck and chest (“hot flushes”). Elleste Solo alleviates these symptoms after menopause. You will only be prescribed Elleste Solo if your symptoms seriously hinder your daily life. The tablets can also be prescribed as a second-line option for preventing osteoporosis (a condition that weakens bones) after menopause.
