Lynoral

Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic oestrogen. Oestrogens are a group of naturally occurring hormones which have a wide range of actions in the body. These include effects on the development of the body and maintaining the menstrual cycle (periods) in women. During the menopause (sometimes called “the change of life”) a woman’s body slowly produces less oestrogen.

Indications

Lynoral is used for: • Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) This is the most common use of Lynoral. The tablets replace the naturally occurring oestrogen if not enough is being produced. This can be in older women going through, or after the menopause or in younger women whose ovaries have not developed properly. • Period Problems – You may be prescribed Lynoral if you are suffering from problems associated with your periods. If you still have your womb and are prescribed an oestrogen, such as Lynoral, then your doctor should normally prescribe a progestogen as well. • Osteoporosis - Women who have passed through the menopause and are at a high risk of future fractures may be prescribed Lynoral if they are unable to take other medicines for this condition. • Prostate Cancer – Oestrogen is also a naturally occurring hormone in men and Lynoral may be prescribed to treat men suffering from prostate cancer.

How To Take
