after\u00a0menopause\u00a0suffer some women with osteoporosis (\u00a0osteoporosis\u00a0).\u00a0Discuss all possible options with your doctor.\u00a0
If you have an increased risk of\u00a0fractures\u00a0(bone fractures) and other medicines that are not suitable for you, you can use Angemin to prevent osteoporosis after\u00a0menopause\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. What You Need To Know Before You Use Angemin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Do Not Use Angemin:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Experience is limited for treating women whose menstruation has stopped prematurely (when the ovaries have stopped working or the uterus has been removed).\u00a0If you belong to that group, the risks of\u00a0HRT\u00a0may be different.\u00a0Talk to your doctor.
Before starting treatment (or resuming treatment), your doctor will ask about your and your family’s medical background.\u00a0Your doctor may do a general medical and gynecological examination, including examination of your breasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
if any of the following apply to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor<\/strong> before taking Angemin.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWarnings And Cautions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You may experience irregular spotting during the first 3 – 6 months of taking Angemin. About the irregular bleeding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Data show that hormone replacement therapy (\u00a0HRT\u00a0) with a combination of\u00a0estrogen-progestogen\u00a0or with\u00a0estrogen\u00a0alone\u00a0increases the risk of breast cancer.\u00a0The increased risk depends on how long you use\u00a0HRT\u00a0.\u00a0The increased risk is seen within 3 years.\u00a0When the treatment is stopped, the increased risk decreases over time, but it can persist for 10 years or more if you have used\u00a0HRT\u00a0for more than 5 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ovarian cancer is rare – much more rare than breast cancer.\u00a0Use of\u00a0HRT\u00a0with\u00a0estrogen\u00a0alone\u00a0or combined\u00a0estrogen-progestogen\u00a0has been associated with a slightly increased risk of ovarian cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For women in their 50s who do not take\u00a0HRT\u00a0, an average of 4 – 7 out of 1000\u00a0people are expected to have a blood clot in a vein over 5 years.\u00a0
Of women in their 50s who take\u00a0HRT\u00a0with\u00a0estrogen-progestogen\u00a0for more than 5 years, 9 – 12 out of 1000 users are expected to be affected (i.e., 5 cases).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no evidence that\u00a0HRT\u00a0prevents heart attack. Women over 60 who take\u00a0HRT\u00a0with\u00a0estrogen\u00a0–\u00a0progestogens have\u00a0a slightly higher risk of developing heart disease than those who do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The risk of\u00a0stroke\u00a0is about 1.5 times higher for those taking\u00a0HRT\u00a0than those who do not.\u00a0The increase in the number of stroke cases due to the use of HRT increases with age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of women in their 50s who do not use\u00a0HRT\u00a0, 8 out of 1000 can be expected to suffer a\u00a0stroke\u00a0over 5 years.\u00a0Of women in their 50s who use\u00a0HRT\u00a0, 11 out of 1,000 are expected to be affected (i.e., 3 cases).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HRT\u00a0does not prevent memory deterioration.\u00a0There is some evidence that women who start using\u00a0HRT\u00a0after the age of 65 have an increased risk of impaired memory.\u00a0Consult your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOther Medicines And Angemin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
