Novofem

You should take one tablet of Novofem daily, preferably at the same time each day. The effects of the medication typically last for 24 hours. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose. If you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms, contact your healthcare provider.

Each Novofem tablet contains 1 mg of estradiol and 0.5 mg of norethisterone. The excipients include lactose, maize starch, povidone, talc, magnesium stearate, sucrose, macrogol 6000, calcium carbonate, montan glycol wax, titanium dioxide (E171), red iron oxide (E172), and yellow iron oxide (E172).

Common side effects of Novofem may include breast pain, headache, nausea, and breakthrough bleeding. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include chest pain, vision changes, severe abdominal pain, and signs of a blood clot (e.g., sudden shortness of breath, coughing up blood).

Do not use Novofem if you have a history of breast cancer, blood clots, liver disease, or unexplained vaginal bleeding. This medication is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women. If you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or are on medications like blood thinners, discuss with your doctor before starting Novofem. Remember to attend regular check-ups while taking this medication.
