Mechanism of action

During treatment with Divigel, the severity of menopausal syndrome (including hot flashes, sweating, vaginal dryness, depressed mood) is significantly reduced. Divigel's clinical efficacy in treating menopause symptoms is comparable to that when taking estrogen orally.
The use of the drug helps reduce total cholesterol without changing the ratio of cholesterol / HDL. The use of the drug inhibits the decrease in bone density during menopause. The effectiveness of Divigel for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis is the same as when taking estrogen drugs orally.
