How Lynoral Tablet works

Lynoral 0.01 Tablet is a synthetic estrogen (female hormone). In women of reproductive age, it helps maintain a normal menstrual cycle (periods). In women undergoing menopause, it works by fulfilling the deficiency of estrogen hormone, thereby preventing symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats and mood swings.

Dosage

Take it exactly as prescribed, preferably at the same time each day, as taking doses regularly is important for effective contraception.

Quick tips

  • It may also be used to treat prostate cancer in men and to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
  • Take it at the same time everyday to help you remember to take it.
  • You may experience menstrual irregularities such as spotting or bleeding between menstrual periods or missed periods. Consult your doctor if this persists.
  • Ensure that you undergo regular breast screening (for presence of lumps or any abnormal changes) and cervical smear test while taking this medicine.
  • Stop taking this medicine and inform your doctor immediately if you notice unexplained swelling and pain in your limbs, shortness of breath, chest pain, severe headache, or changes in vision. These could be symptoms of a blood clot in a vein.
  • Lynoral 0.01 Tablet is used as a part of hormone replacement therapy in older women who are going through menopause or in younger women whose ovaries have not developed properly.
