Knight Therapeutics Inc. announced the launch of BIJUVA® (estradiol and progesterone) capsules in Canada. BIJUVA® is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms (VMS) associated with menopause in women with an intact uterus. VMS affects 60% to 80% of women entering menopause1 and are commonly known as hot flashes or flushes and night sweats.

BIJUVA® is a once-daily combination of bioidentical estradiol and progesterone in a single oral capsule. The two hormones included in BIJUVA® have the same structure as the hormones produced and circulating in a woman?s body. The introduction of Bijuva® in Canada offers an option of hormone therapy (combination of estradiol and progesterone), to add to its toolbox of prescription choices, for the patient in need.
