Abstract

A study of 240 post-menopausal women receiving Dixarit (clonidine hydrochloride), Premarin (conjugated equine oestrogens), Harmogen (piperazine oestrone sulphate) and Progynova (oestradiol valerate) in two different dosages alone and in combination with progestational agents such as norethisterone acetate, dydrogesterone, and norgestrel for climacteric symptoms showed that there was no adverse effect on serum lipid levels. There was no significant change in the serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels during treatment with oestrogen replacement therapy.
