What is this medicine?

ESTRAPAUSE 2mg contains estradiol, a form of estrogen, which is a female hormone produced by the ovaries. This medicine is used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to treat symptoms associated with menopause such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and night sweats. It may also be prescribed to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women or in conditions where estrogen production is low (such as after surgical removal of ovaries or in certain hormonal disorders).
