The HRT market is developing fast. There is increasing awareness that HRT is very effective and restores the
quality of life of many women suffering from menopausal complaints. Long-term HRT reduces their risks for future osteoporosis and
cardiovascular disease.
The new oral HRT combination preparation
femoston®, first launched in
1995, will give Solvay Pharmaceuticals presence in HRT another boost.
femoston®
is the only HRT product that contains dydrogesterone - by many regarded as an ideal progestogen for HRT - combined with 17ß -estradiol,
which is identical to a woman's most important natural estrogen. The combination of these hormones within one tablet, is a unique aspect of
femoston®.
The Solvay HRT portfolio will be further enriched, by new products and presentation forms that are currently in the pipeline.
