Overview

Femoston 2/10 Tablet is supplied as a tablet, with Estradiol 2mg (orange tablets, days 1-14). It is supplied in a pack size of 28s.

No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Directions for Use

Take the tablets in the exact order printed on the calendar pack, one orange (estradiol-only) tablet daily for the first 14 days followed by one grey (estradiol with dydrogesterone) tablet daily for the next 14 days, at the same time each day, with or without food, and start the next pack immediately after finishing the current one with no interruption, exactly as prescribed and reviewed by your doctor through DoctorOnCall.

Dosage

The standard dose follows the pre-packed 28-day sequential cycle of estradiol 2mg for 14 days followed by estradiol 2mg with dydrogesterone 10mg for the next 14 days; your doctor will prescribe the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration needed to control your symptoms and may switch you to a different Femoston strength at follow-up review if needed.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, keep tablets in their original calendar packaging until ready to use so the correct daily sequence is maintained, and keep out of reach and sight of children.
