Duavee 0.45-20 Tablets is a combination pill that contains a dose of estrogen and bazedoxifene to help manage symptoms of menopause. The estrogen component is designed to help reduce the incidence of hot flashes and address bone thinning, a common occurrence in postmenopausal women. The bazedoxifene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator that helps protect the uterus lining. So, anyone have any experience or thoughts on this medication?
