Dydrogesterone is a synthetic progesterone. It works by mimicking the effects of the natural hormone progesterone, which helps to balance hormones and relieve associated symptoms. Estradiol is a semi-synthetic version of the hormone estrogen present in the body of females. Its action is identical to that of biological estrogen. It binds to estrogen receptors and exhibits a beneficial effect on bone density, while also inhibiting bone resorption associated with osteoporosis in menopausal women. They work together and help manage symptoms of estrogen deficiency, such as hot flushes and vaginal dryness, and also assist in preventing osteoporosis....
