Medicines for menopause

The menopause is a natural process in a woman's life as a result of the depletion of eggs and the end of ovulation cycles.

It is the last menstruation and usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, although it may occur earlier.

It is considered premenopausal from the onset of irregularities, but the oestrogen level is usually not yet affected. Postmenopause is the period that begins after the menopause, but cannot be confirmed until the next 12 months of amenorrhoea.
