Activella Information: Prescription ACTIVELLA contains an estrogen and a progestin, both derived from plants. Menopause results in decreased levels of estrogen and progestin. Activella supplements your body with hormones to treat symptoms of hormonal deficiency associated with menopause. If you are experiencing symptoms of menopause that are interfering with your lifestyle and daily activities, consider ACTIVELLA. ACTIVELLA can help keep your hormones in balance and your menopause-related symptoms under control.
What are the benefits of using ACTIVELLA? With just one tablet a day, ACTIVELLA provides the following benefits to postmenopausal women with an intact uterus:
Relief of moderate to severe hot flashes and night sweats
Relief of vaginal symptoms such as dryness and discomfort
Prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis
ACTIVELLA should be used only by women who have a uterus.
Activella Side Effects: Common side effects include:
Breast tenderness/pain
Upper respiratory tract infections
Headache
Postmenopausal bleeding
Women who have been diagnosed with the following, should NOT take Activella:
Known or suspected pregnancy
Breast cancer
Estrogen- dependent neoplasia
Active deep vein thrombosis
Thromboembolic disorders or stroke
Undiagnosed genital bleeding
Liver dysfunction or disease
Hypersensitivity to any of the active ingredients in the drug
Women who have had hysterectomies should NOT take Activella, as the existing data suggests that the combination therapy of estrogen and progestin may increase risk of glucose intolerance and less favorable effects on lipid metabolism in women without a uterus.
