(conjugated estrogens/bazedoxifene)

What is DUAVEE used for?

DUAVEE is used after menopause for women with a uterus to:

•
reduce moderate to severe hot flushes
Estrogens are hormones made by a woman's ovaries. The ovaries normally stop making estrogens when a woman is between 45 and 55 years old. This drop in body estrogen levels causes the "change of life" or menopause (the end of monthly menstrual periods). Sometimes both ovaries are removed during an operation before natural menopause takes place. The sudden drop in estrogen levels causes "surgical menopause."
When the estrogen levels begin dropping, some women get very uncomfortable symptoms, such as feelings of warmth in the face, neck, and chest, or sudden intense episodes of heat and sweating ("hot flashes" or "hot flushes"). In some women, the symptoms are mild, and they will not need to take medicines. In other women, symptoms can be more severe.
•
help reduce your chances of developing osteoporosis (thin, weak bones)
If you use DUAVEE only to prevent osteoporosis due to menopause, talk with your healthcare provider about whether a different treatment or medicine without estrogens might be better for you.
DUAVEE should be taken for the shortest time possible and only for as long as treatment is needed.

You and your healthcare provider should talk regularly about whether you still need treatment with DUAVEE.

DUAVEE is not for use in children.

It is not known if DUAVEE is safe and effective in people with kidney problems.
