Tablets to treat post-menopausal symptoms

Elleste Solo treats symptoms of the post menopause for women who have had a hysterectomy. It’s available in patches and tablets.
We’re listening. Tell us about your health and we’ll recommend the right HRT treatments for you. Choose your medication and order Elleste Solo online.
Elleste Solo is prescribed to treat post menopausal symptoms, such as hot flushes and mood swings. These symptoms usually last around four or five years (sometimes longer), during which time you can balance your body’s hormones with HRT treatments such as Elleste Solo.
It’s only prescribed for women who have had a hysterectomy or when used alongside a separate oral progesterone tablet. If you’ve not had a hysterectomy, there are many other treatments available, including Elleste Duet.
Elleste Solo is prescribed to treat the symptoms of the post menopause that are caused by a change in the body’s hormones. Symptoms of the menopause can have a significant effect on your quality of life, so by balancing out the hormones Elleste Solo helps you to get back to being you again.
Elleste Solo is only available for women who have had a hysterectomy, unless taken with a separate progesterone treatment.
The menopause leads to significant changes in the body, mostly brought on by a change in the hormones it produces. HRT replaces these hormones (or in the case of Elleste Solo, just the one hormone) and eases the associated symptoms.
It’s not exactly a cure, but it can greatly ease symptoms of the menopause so this time of your life is not so greatly affected.
How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body. Read more in our editorial policy.
Elleste Solo has no specific instructions other than to take it daily, preferably at the same time. It should be swallowed whole with water and can be taken with or without food.
Always take the treatment as recommended by our clinician. This way you can be sure to get the most out of the treatment while minimising any possible side effects.
Elleste Solo used to come as a patch called Elleste Solo MX patch. It worked the same as the tablet but was a more convenient method. All you had to do was place it on your skin, somewhere below the waist. You would replace the patch twice a week and it was available in two doses - 40 and 80 micrograms of estradiol.
The patch was discontinued in October 2021 so it is no longer available But there are alternative oestrogen-only patches like Estraderm MX or Estradot.
For tablets, take the tablet as soon as you remember it. Don’t take double the dose to make up for a missed one. If you still have your period and are taking a separate progesterone, you may experience spotting as a result of the drop in hormones.
