Novo Nordisk's new hormone replacement therapy product Activelle(17-beta-estradiol 1mg plus norethisterone acetate 0.5mg) has become the first product in its class to be approved and mutually-recognized by all 15 member states of the European Union. Activelle is already marketed in Sweden and will be launched in the UK, Germany and Norway later this year.
The product is a continuous-combined HRT (ie both estrogen and progestogen are continuously administered), and like other new-generation HRT products uses lower doses of hormone to minimize side effects while providing optimal efficacy in relieving the symptoms of the menopause, eg hot flushes and night sweats.
