Flordis Femular Forte 30 Tablets

Benefits:

Relieves menopause symptoms

• Hot flushes and sweating
• Disturbed sleep, nervous tension and irritability
• Headaches and joint pain*

Femular is a different way to manage menopause.
Femular and Femular Forte are non-hormonal phytotherapeutic formulations clinically proven to relieve a range of menopause symptoms, including hot flushes, night sweats, irritability, mild anxiety, sleeplessness, fatigue, and joint pain.

Research shows reduced menopausal symptoms as early as 1 month, with significant relief shown at 3 months and continued improvement over 9 months.2-4 Being available in two doses means support for varying degrees of menopausal symptoms, from perimenopause through to post menopause.2-4

Femular products contain an exclusive extract from the plant Actaea racemosa, also known as Black cohosh. The specific extract used in the Femular range– known as Ze 450® – is well tolerated and has been researched in multiple clinical studies to relieve menopausal symptoms during all stages of menopause.2-4

Food for thought: Perimenopause is the stage before natural menopause begins. Each woman s journey is different but some of the common symptoms during this transition can include hot flushes or night sweats, sleep disturbances, and mood changes.

FAQ:

What makes Femular and Femular Forte simply different?
Femular and Femular Forte have been shown to relieve the symptoms of menopause from as early as 1 month with significant relief shown at 3 months and continued improvement over 9 months.2-4 We take care to use a specific extract of Actaea racemosa (Black cohosh) known as Ze 450 to help deliver a consistently high quality medicine that is the same medicine proven in clinical trials to provide relief during all stages of menopause.

Medicines with naturally sourced active ingredients can vary considerably depending on the species of plant chosen, the way it is grown and harvested, the extraction and the production processes. So it’s essential to ensure the product you’re getting is consistent with the one proven in clinical trials to relieve the symptoms of menopause.

What is the difference between Femular and Femular Forte?
Femular Forte provides the higher dose of Femular in one single convenient daily tablet. 1 tablet of Femular Forte is equivalent to 2 tablets of Femular. This means 1 tablet of Femular Forte contains 13mg of Ze 450 extract which is twice the amount of Ze 450 extract that is in Femular (6.5mg of Ze 450 extract).

Femular (1 tablet low dose) is suitable for mild to moderate symptoms of menopause while Femular Forte (1 tablet dose) or Femular (2 tablet high dose) is more suitable for those who have moderate to severe menopausal symptoms. Femular Forte is available as a packet of 30 or 90 tablets. Femular contains 30 tablets.

Can Femular be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Femular is only indicated for use in women with menopausal symptoms. It is not intended, nor recommended, to be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Is Femular likely to interact with other medications?
There are no known interactions reported between Femular or Femular Forte and other medications. However, if you are currently on HRT/MHT (hormone replacement therapy/menopause hormone therapy) it is not recommended to take Femular or Femular Forte, unless under supervision of your health professional. If you have specific concerns about using Femular or Femular Forte with other medications, it is important that you talk to your health professional.

Will Femular have an effect on liver function?
Femular and Femular Forte with extract Ze 450 are well tolerated based on clinical research and years of use worldwide.

If you have liver disease or a history of liver damage it is important to speak with a healthcare professional before taking Femular or Femular Forte.

In very rare cases, Black cohosh has been associated with liver failure*. If you experience yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, dark urine, nausea, vomiting, unusual tiredness, weakness, stomach or abdominal pain, and/or loss of appetite, you should stop using Femular or Femular Forte and see your doctor.

However, Femular and Femular Forte with specific extract Ze 450 are well tolerated and have been recommended to millions of women worldwide since 2005.

Yes, Femular and Femular Forte contain a very small amount of lactose (44mg) in each tablet.

Does Femular contain any allergens?
Femular and Femular Forte contain no added gluten, wheat, yeast, soy, artificial flavours, colours or sweetners.

How does Femular work? Is it oestrogenic?
It is not fully understood how the Femular/Femular Forte Ze 450 extract of Actaea racemosa works, however evidence suggests that it may work on the neuroendocrine function. Several studies suggest that it may act on receptors in the brain which play a role in central nervous system processes that help govern body temperature (thermoregulation), and also feelings of stress, nervousness and mild anxiety.5-7

The activity of Actaea racemosa in relation to oestrogen has also been investigated and the evidence suggests Femular is likely to be non-oestrogenic.6,8

The research in this area suggests that Actaea racemosa may work instead as a selective oestrogen receptor modulator (SERM) helping to modulate and mimic oestrogen and is not likely to have a direct oestrogenic effect. 6,8

How long do I take Femular for?
Menopausal symptoms may improve within 1 month of starting Femular or Femular Forte with best results expected after 3 months’ use, and continued improvement shown over 9 months.2-4

Will Femular affect my ability to drive and use machines?
Femular and Femular Forte have no known adverse effects on the ability to drive or use machines.

What do I do if I forget to take a dose?
If less than 8 hours before your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take your next dose when you are meant to.

Otherwise, take it as soon as you remember, and then go back to taking your medicine as you would normally.

Do not take a double dose to make up for the dose that you missed.

If you have trouble remembering to take your medicine, ask your health professional for advice.

Should Femular be stopped before surgery?
It is important to discuss this with your healthcare professional, including your anaesthetist and surgeon.
