Nothing to addBy the Layer Nutrition editorial team · How the atlas classifies the 664 molecules
What this medicine is for
Pharmacologically, Estriol relates to the category “hormone (menopause / progestogen)”. This hormone is part of hormonal contraception: taken each day, it prevents ovulation and makes the body unfavorable to a pregnancy, reversibly.
In the case of Estriol, this means: Hormonal treatment (menopause or gynaecology). It is most often a maintenance treatment, taken at regular times over long periods; its benefit is judged over time, not by how you feel on the day.
Under which brands it is found
In France, about 4 reimbursable presentations containing Estriol are recorded. It is found under several brand names and as generics.
- Blissel
- Gydrelle
- Physiogine
- Trophicreme
Original brand-name products and generics deliver the same active substance; the choice between them is made with your doctor or pharmacist.
Do you need a supplement? No.
Nothing to add here. Estriol falls under none of our products, and no single-ingredient supplement is credibly warranted as support. Rather than placing a product on principle, we leave this page without a purchase recommendation. If you are otherwise on a statin, an antidiabetic, a PPI, a contraceptive or a beta-blocker, that is where we can be useful.
