How does Duavee prevent osteoporosis and treat menopause symptoms?
Duavee is a prescription drug used to manage menopause symptoms. It contains two active ingredients: conjugated estrogens and bazedoxifene. Conjugated estrogens are a type of hormone replacement therapy, while bazedoxifene belongs to a group of drugs called selective estrogen receptor modulators. The medication comes as a tablet and is usually taken once per day. Duavee is used to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and to treat vasomotor symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes. Typically, doctors prescribe Duavee for the shortest time necessary to manage your symptoms while minimizing side effect risks. Always follow your doctor's instructions and do not adjust the dosage on your own. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
