Elleste Solo

Elleste solo is a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), used to treat women who have started to show signs of the menopause.

For more information on the prescription medication patients should refer to the Elleste Solo patient information leaflet.

During a woman’s menopause, natural levels of oestrogen production begin to drop. Elleste solo contains the female hormone; an oestrogen called estradiol hemihydrate, which works to replenish a woman’s natural levels and offset the effects of menopause.

Symptoms of menopause include hot flashes (of the face, neck and chest), irregular menstrual cycle, night sweats, weight gain, thinning of hair and mood changes.

These symptoms can often disrupt daily life so using HRT medication, such as Elleste solo, can restore the natural hormone balance.

Elleste solo is a prescription-only medication. Always follow the advice of your doctor and read the patient information leaflet provided in the medication packet. Your doctor will aim to prescribe you as lower dose as possible in order to treat your symptoms.

Take one tablet each day, at approximately the same time of day, by swallowing whole with a drink of water. The packet has arrows to assist you in making sure you’re taking it correctly.

If you are still having regular periods then you should start your Elleste solo on the first day of bleeding. If you are not having regular periods then you can start the medication at any time. If you are already on another kind of HRT medication then you should start Elleste solo on the day after you finish your previous pack.

Many women taking Elleste solo will have a monthly bleed, like a period, while a lot will also experience no bleeding at all. However, if you notice any erraticism then you should contact your doctor.
