This medication contains 2 female hormones: an estrogen (estradiol) and a progestin (levonorgestrel). It is used by women to help reduce a certain symptom of menopause (hot flashes). Symptoms of menopause are caused by the body making less estrogen. The progestin in this medication helps to reduce the risk of cancer of the uterus which can be caused by using estrogen. Women who have had their uterus removed do not need the progestin and therefore should not use this combination medication.
If you are using this medication to treat symptoms only in and around the vagina, products applied directly inside the vagina should be considered before medications that are taken by mouth, absorbed through the skin, or injected.
This medication may also be used by women after menopause to prevent bone loss (osteoporosis). However, there are other medications (such as raloxifene, bisphosphonates including alendronate) that are also effective in preventing bone loss and may be safer. These medications should be considered for use before estrogen/progestin treatment.

This medicine is a combination of 2 medicines used to treat open-angle glaucoma and increased pressure in the eye. It contains a selective alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist (brimonidine) and a beta-blocker (timolol). Fluid constantly flows into and out of your eye. When too much fluid flows in or too little fluid flows out of the eye, pressure in your eye increases. Over time this may be very harmful to your sight. This medicine works in 2 ways. It reduces the amount of fluid produced and flowing into your eye and also increases the amount of fluid that flows out of your eye. Both of these processes may help to reduce the amount of pressure in your eye. This medicine is for use in patients who have already tried using a single medicine, but have not had enough improvement in their condition. This medicine may be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
