CONJYA

CONJYA (Conjugated Estrogens) is made from a combination of female sex hormones and is effective at treating vaginal menopause symptoms. Endogenous estrogens play a key role in the female body, in particular the maintenance of the reproductive system, while also contributing to secondary sexual characteristics. However, when approaching the menopause, the production of estrogen decreases gradually. This means that there is less estrogen in the blood.

Resulting from this, itching or dryness of the vagina (vaginal atrophy), hot flashes and other vasomotor symptoms can occur. This medicine works as an estrogen only HRT (hormone replacement therapy), which aims to compensate for the reduction in estrogen production by supplying orally administered estrogen to the body, which can help provide relief from the unpleasant symptoms of the menopause. Other uses for this medicine include preventing osteoporosis, treating hypoestrogenism, and also the treatment of certain forms of breast or prostate cancer.

CONJYA (Conjugated Estrogens) tablets come as a 0.625mg strength version and are taken by mouth. In most cases, these tablets will only be taken for a short duration, and treatment may be on a cyclical basis. Some women may be directed by their physician to take it for 3 weeks, followed by 1 week without treatment. However, other disorders may need daily administration, or else 2 weekly doses during the period of medical treatment. All patients taking this medicine must strictly comply with the dosage schedule provided by their physician, as well as any other instructions given.
