When is an analogue prescribed?
In what cases can Angelique Micro be prescribed? Reviews from women who have taken the drug indicate that this analogue is prescribed by doctors in cases where the unpleasant symptoms of menopause are mild and not very critical. Moreover, such a small dosage of hormones helps doctors choose the most accurate and effective schedule for taking the drug for the patient. These two advantages of the analogue are also indicated by expert reviews.
A little about the composition
According to reviews from doctors, “Angelique” consists of two main active ingredients - drospirenone (2 milligrams) and estradiol (1 milligram). These two hormones play an important role in a woman’s body. Any deviations from the norm of these substances can negatively affect the regularity of the menstrual cycle, the ability to bear children and the general condition of the body.
For example, drospirenone is responsible for the accumulation of fluid, and estradiol reduces the negative symptoms of menopause and serves as a prevention of osteoporosis after the onset of menopause. Below we will discuss the actions of both hormones in more detail.
Additional components of the tablets are lactose monohydrate, regular and pregelatinized corn starch, povidone K25, macrogol 600, hypromelose, magnesium stearate and microdoses of talc, titanium dioxide, iron dye. According to reviews of women and doctors about “Angelique”, these substances can enhance the effect of the main components and improve the patient’s well-being.
But what is the scope of action of the active substances? Let's find out.
Two words about the hormone estradiol
As we learned above, this substance is the main component of Angelique. Reviews from women who took the drug show that this hormone, produced by the ovaries, adrenal glands and placenta, is necessary for the satisfactory functioning of the reproductive system and its organs (vagina, uterus, mammary glands).
Also, as already mentioned, estradiol lowers cholesterol levels, thereby being a preventive measure for such serious diseases as atherosclerosis, hypertension, heart attack, stroke, and diabetes.
Moreover, this substance serves to prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis, and also improves appearance - it slows down the process of wrinkles.
When not to use
It is strictly forbidden for girls under twenty years of age, as well as pregnant and lactating women, to take this hormonal drug. Reviews from women about the drug “Angelique” are unanimous that it is not prescribed for the following diagnoses:
- malignant tumors of the mammary glands;
- hormone-dependent oncological tumors;
- bleeding from the vagina of unknown form;
- severe liver disease;
- liver tumors of any etiology;
- renal/adrenal failure, serious kidney pathologies;
- stroke and rehabilitation period;
- heart attack and post-infarction period;
- pathology of the endometrium of the uterus;
- venous thrombosis.
In addition, as reviews of “Angelique” testify, the product should not be used if you are individually intolerant to its components. For example, sometimes allergic reactions to lactose, which is part of the drug, may occur.
However, this is not the entire list of contraindications. There are a number of diseases during which tablets are prescribed with extreme caution, taking into account the likely damage and the intended effect.
The essence of the action of the product
According to reviews, “Angelique” replenishes hormones that lose their properties or are completely depleted during menopause or hypogonadism.
Thanks to this, all negative manifestations caused by female diseases are normalized and the emotional, psychological and physical well-being of the patient improves. Moreover, thanks to its components, the drug promotes rapid fat metabolism and lowers cholesterol in the blood.

Dosage and schedule
According to the instructions for use, as well as the recommendations of specialists, you should take one tablet per day with a small amount of water. It is advisable to take the hormonal drug at the same time to maintain cyclicality. If the patient forgot to take a pill, then you should not take two at once or reduce the amount of time between doses. It is necessary to continue treatment at the usual interval of 24 hours.
To make it easier for women to take the drug, the manufacturer made sure that each tablet was placed in a separate cell, next to which the day of the week was indicated. This will make it easier for the patient to follow the drug use schedule.
You can start taking it on any day of the menstrual cycle. The course of treatment is prescribed by the specialist himself; it is usually quite long: from several months to several years.
Release form
According to reviews of women who took the drug, “Angelique” is a round, gray-pink tablet, convex on both sides, covered with a thin coating. Each of the miraculous pills has a regular hexagon embossed on one side, which contains two symbols - DL.
The hormonal product is produced by the German pharmaceutical company Bayer in cardboard packs, one or three blisters in each. That is, there are 28 or 84 tablets in a package.
Wide range of activities
What unpleasant symptoms does the hormonal remedy “Angelique” eliminate? Reviews from women who have taken the drug are almost unanimously assuring that it will help cope with intense hot flashes, profuse sweating, frequent mood swings, incomprehensible aggression and (or) depression, sleep disturbances, frequent urination, and so on. Moreover, miracle pills can help in the fight against acne, wrinkles, hair loss and other cosmetic defects, although this is not their main area of influence.
As you can see, the product is really useful and effective.
However, remember that you should never self-medicate, that is, prescribe a pharmacological agent yourself! This should only be done by the attending physician. He also describes the dosage and schedule of administration. Sometimes, as mentioned above, a specialist may consider it appropriate to prescribe the drug “Angelique Micro”. Reviews from women about this analogue are similar to reviews about the main product.
It is very important to take the pills with caution, carefully weighing the intended benefits and your overall condition. The fact is that, according to reviews from women, “Angelique” has many contraindications and side effects. Let's look at them in more detail.
Main analogue
The drug we are interested in has one analogue, completely similar to it in composition and spectrum of action. This is Angelique Micro. Reviews from women and doctors about these products indicate that they differ from each other only in the dosage of the main components. The composition of the analogue of the drug “Angelique” includes 0.5 milligrams of estradiol and 0.25 milligrams of drospirenone. Both tablet products are produced by the same company.
According to reviews of women who took the drug “Angelique Micro”, its tablets are yellow in color, but their effect is similar to that of regular “Angelique”.
