ACTIVELLA®—Prescription hormone therapy with an estrogen just like your own. Now you can replace what your body is missing with what you want in a hormone therapy.
Prevention
Ideally, osteoporosis prevention begins in childhood, with a calcium-rich diet and regular exercise. Building strong bones in childhood may be the best protection for bones later in life. Don't give up, though! Even if you're already in your 40s, 50s, or older, there are things you can do to reduce your risk of osteoporosis.
Remember—as a woman, you may lose up to 20% of your total skeletal bone mass in the first 5 or 7 years of postmenopause. When exercise, calcium, and lifestyle changes aren't enough to prevent osteoporosis, hormone therapies, such as ACTIVELLA®, may be an effective solution to reduce or prevent bone loss. If you use ACTIVELLA® only to prevent osteoporosis from menopause, talk with your doctor about whether a different treatment or medicine without estrogens might be better for you.
