About Menopause

Menopause defined
Simply put, menopause is defined as the end of regular menstruation, yet dealing with it is rarely simple. While some women may sail through this time of their lives, others can suffer severely from menopausal symptoms.

Most women go through menopause in their 40s or 50s (the average age is 51), however, some may experience it earlier or later in life. Just as every woman's body is unique, each woman's menopausal experience is highly personal.

Natural versus surgical menopause

Natural menopause. Menopause is defined as the end of regular menstruation. Natural menopause occurs when your body stops producing estrogen. It is the lowering of estrogen levels that causes menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.

Surgical menopause. Surgical menopause happens if you have had your uterus with or without your ovaries removed, ANGELIQ is not right for you.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

What is ANGELIQ used for?

ANGELIQ is used after menopause to:

Reduce moderate to severe hot flashes
Treat moderate to severe dryness, itching, and burning in or around the vagina
- When prescribing solely for vaginal dryness, other treatments should be considered

What is the most important information I should know about ANGELIQ (a combination of estrogen and a progestin)?

Do not use estrogens with or without progestins to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, or strokes.

Using estrogens with or without progestins may increase your chances of getting heart attack, strokes, breast cancer, and blood clots. Using estrogens with or without progestins may increase your risk of dementia. You and your healthcare provider should talk regularly about whether you still need treatment with ANGELIQ.

Who should not use ANGELIQ?

Do not use ANGELIQ if you have had your uterus removed (hysterectomy). ANGELIQ contains a progestin to decrease the chances of getting cancer of the uterus. If you do not have a uterus, you do not need a progestin and you should not use ANGELIQ.

Do not start taking ANGELIQ if you have unusual vaginal bleeding, currently have or have had certain cancers, had a stroke or heart attack in the past year, currently have or have had blood clots, have kidney disease, liver disease, or disease of your adrenal glands, are allergic to ANGELIQ or any of its ingredients, or think you may be pregnant.

Warnings of less common but serious side effects of ANGELIQ include breast lumps, unusual vaginal bleeding, dizziness and faintness, changes in speech, severe headaches, chest pain, shortness of breath, pains in your legs, changes in vision, and vomiting. Call your healthcare provider right away if you get any of these warning signs, or any other unusual symptom that concerns you.
