Benefits of Lynoral Tablet
In Hormone replacement therapy
Hormone placement therapy (HRT) is a treatment to relieve symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and reduced sex drive. Since menopause can last for several years, this treatment can make a big improvement to your daily life and mood. Estrogen is one of two important hormones (the other is progesterone) used in this treatment. You should use this medicine as it is prescribed, and for as long as it is prescribed by your doctor.
In Treatment of Prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is a common type of cancer in males, but it is highly treatable in the early stages. It starts in the prostate gland, which is located between the penis and the bladder. Lynoral 0.05mg Tablet helps treat prostate cancer by decreasing or stopping the growth of cancer cells. This further gives relief from the symptoms of prostate cancer such as difficulty in passing urine. Take Lynoral 0.05mg Tablet as prescribed by your doctor.
In Treatment of Breast cancer
Lynoral 0.05mg Tablet relieves the symptoms of breast cancer such as breast lumps, bloody discharge from the nipple or changes in the shape or texture of the breast.
