What is Enjuvia?
Enjuvia tablets contain conjugated estrogens, a mixture of estrogen hormones. Estrogen is a female sex hormone produced by the ovaries. Estrogen is necessary for many processes in the body.
Enjuvia is used to treat menopause symptoms such as hot flashes and vaginal changes, and to prevent osteoporosis (bone loss) in menopausal women.
Enjuvia is also used to replace estrogen in women with ovarian failure or other conditions that cause a lack of natural estrogen in the body.
