Description

Estranor 2/0.5mg Tablets contain Estradiol Valerate + Norgestrel and are made by Saffron Pharmaceuticals. Estradiol valerate replaces the oestrogen the ovaries stop making at menopause, easing hot flushes and other symptoms. Norgestrel, a progestogen, is added in the second half of each cycle to protect the womb lining. This gives a regular monthly bleed. You can order it online from Divine Medicines with home delivery across Lahore.
