Bijuva is a hormone therapy specifically developed for women going through menopause who experience menopausal symptoms. The medication contains two bioidentical hormones: estradiol (a form of oestrogen) and progesterone. These hormones are naturally produced by your body. During menopause, the levels of oestrogen and progesterone in your body decrease and fluctuate, which can lead to symptoms such as hot flushes, poor sleep, joint pain, and difficulty concentrating. Bijuva replenishes these hormones, helping to reduce your symptoms.
Research suggests that starting hormone therapy, such as Bijuva, at the right time and using it for several years during menopause may lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, dementia, osteoporosis, and overall mortality. Bijuva contains estradiol and progesterone and is therefore intended for women with a uterus. A prescription is required to use this medication.
