    How does Femoston work?

    Dr. Kishan Barnwal MBBS , General Physician

    Femoston contains estradiol. It is a synthetic form of the naturally occurring female sex hormone (estrogen) which is produced by the female ovaries. Femoston helps in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and it also helps in the development of puberty as well as secondary female sex characteristics. Due to some medical condition or aging, the ovaries are not able to produce estradiol whose deficiency affects the essential tasks which are fulfilled by it. Femoston works by restoring the normal levels of estradiol in the body which is required to complete these essential tasks.
