Postmenopausal estrogen replacement regimen is the therapy of choice for the alleviation of climacteric symptoms. During the past few years, continuous-combined hormone replacement therapy (HRT) have become increasingly popular. Lower dose estrogen-progestogen combinations are likely to induce less bleeding disturbances and other adverse effects (AEs) and may therefore improve compliance and allow long-term treatment, necessary, e.g. for the prevention of postmenopausal bone loss.

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to investigate efficacy and safety of 3 continuous combined regimens of Indivina in alleviation of vasomotor (estrogen deficiency) symptoms in women who are more than 1 year menopausal, by measuring the change in frequency and severity of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms from baseline to Week 12 vasomotor (estrogen deficiency) symptoms using a self-assessed symptoms diary.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives include investigations of bleeding days, vasomotor symptoms, alleviation of other estrogen deficiency symptoms, and quality of life (QoL). ;Primary end point(s): The change in frequency and severity of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms from baseline to Week 12 vasomotor (estrogen deficiency) symptoms using a self-assessed symptoms diary. | — |
