Detailed Information

How it works

Activella is a combination of estradiol (a form of estrogen) and norethindrone acetate (a progestin). It may work by replacing hormones that naturally decline during menopause, helping relieve symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness.

Clinical applications

According to the Drugs.com Activella overview, this medication is used to treat moderate to severe symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes and osteoporosis prevention in postmenopausal women. It is typically prescribed for women who still have a uterus, as the progestin component helps reduce endometrial cancer risk.
