Area of application

During menopause, which usually begins around the age of 50, the production of sex hormones in the woman's ovaries slowly comes to a standstill.During this time, many women suffer from unpleasant symptoms such as hot flashes, rapid heartbeat, sweating, sleep disorders and moodiness, even depression.These symptoms may indicate a lack of hormones, such as estrogen.

A proven alternative to hormone therapy during menopause is the use of a preparation containing Cimicifuga racemosa, such as Cimicifuga STADA.This herbal medication can help relieve the symptoms of menopause.

Mode of action

Black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) is a recognized medicinal plant for menopausal symptoms.Preparations made from the Cimicifuga rhizome sometimes have a similar effect to the female sex hormone estrogen, but also to selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM).According to current knowledge, these do not have the typical risks of hormone treatment, such as an increased risk of breast cancer.

Dosage and intake

Always take the film-coated tablets exactly as described or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.The recommended dose is one film-coated tablet once a day, which you should take with sufficient liquid, if possible always at the same time of day, either in the morning or in the evening.

If your symptoms persist while taking the medication, please consult your doctor or ask your pharmacist.Do not take the medicine for more than six months without medical advice.If you forget to take a dose, do not take a double dose but continue taking it as usual.Stopping the medication is usually harmless.
