<h1>OGEN</h1><p> OGEN is a medicine that contains estrogen hormones OGEN is used during and after menopause to:
• reduce moderate or severe hot flashes.
Estrogens are hormones made by a woman’s ovaries. The ovaries normally stop making
estrogens when a woman is between 45 to 55 years old. This drop in body estrogen
levels causes the “change of life” or menopause (the end of monthly menstrual periods).
Sometimes, both ovaries are removed during an operation before natural menopause
takes place. The sudden drop in estrogen levels causes “surgical menopause”.
When the estrogen levels begin dropping, some women develop very uncomfortable
symptoms, such as feelings of warmth in the face, neck, and chest, or sudden strong
feelings of heat and sweating (“hot flashes” or “hot flushes”). In some women, the
symptoms are mild, and they do not need to use estrogens. In other women, symptoms
can be more severe. You and your health care provider should talk regularly about
whether you still need treatment with OGEN. </p>
