Tablets, normalizes blood pressure

After menopause, almost always "jumps" blood pressure (BP). This happens due to persistent spasm of blood vessels caused by metabolic disorders. In this case, we recommend a permanent antihypertensive (blood pressure lowering) agents.

It has been found that not all antihypertensive drugs suitable for the treatment of hypertension during menopause. For example, beta-blockers (atenolol) and diuretics during menopause is better not to use, as they are capable of even more change metabolism.

Effect of menopause on bone density, calcium and osteoporosis

Menopause is characterized by the cessation of estrogen production by the ovaries. This may occur due to natural causes or as a result of surgical removal of both ovaries. Lack of estrogen accelerates bone loss in five to eight years. Lack of estrogen increases the ability to absorb the osteoclast bone. Since osteoblasts (cells that produce bone tissue) do not want to produce bone, osteoclasts win, and more bone is lost than is produced.

It is well known that estrogen replacement during menopause protects bone mass and helps defend against osteporoticheskih fractures. Accelerated bone loss during menopause is not related to the amount of calcium consumed. Although after sixty years, it is important to pay special attention to intake of calcium, as it strengthens the bones. It is known that older women who take extra calcium with vitamin D, 30% less broken bones (including hip fractures) than women who did not take extra calcium. Even after three years, they had reduced the risk of fractures and a 15% decreased risk of mortality. Most endocrinologists consider calcium supplementation safe and inexpensive, and recommend it to almost all older men and women, if there are no contraindications.
