Conjya 0.625mg Tablet belongs to the class of hormones used as ‘hormone replacement therapy’ to treat symptoms and conditions associated with menopause. During menopause, estrogen levels decrease, leading to hot flushes (feeling of heat over the face, neck, and chest). Women with menopause are at risk of developing osteoporosis (thinning of bones). Conjya 0.625mg Tablet can be used to prevent osteoporosis after menopause.

Conjya 0.625mg Tablet contains ‘conjugated estrogens’, which is used as hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It works by replacing the estrogen hormone in menopausal women. It also regulates the secretions of hormones such as luteinizing hormone (LH) (necessary for sexual function and the menstrual cycle) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) (regulates the menstrual cycle). These effects help to improve the symptoms of menopause.

Menopause: Menopause occurs when a woman is between 45 and 55 and has not had a period for 12 months or more. However, some women may also experience menopause before 45 years or after 55 years. It occurs due to decreased production of estrogen hormone. The change in levels of other hormones such as progesterone, luteinizing hormone and the follicle-stimulating hormone is also observed during menopause. It causes symptoms such as hot flushes, vaginal dryness, insomnia (sleeplessness), weight gain, reduced sexual desire, sore breasts, hair loss, unwanted hair growth, headache and urinary tract infections.
