Bijuve - administration

Bijuve is a medication used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) prescribed for transgender women as part of gender-affirming care. It is a combination product containing two hormones: estradiol, a form of estrogen, and progesterone. Bijuve is designed to provide a balanced hormonal replacement therapy regimen, as it combines both estrogen and progesterone in a single pill. Here's a detailed guide to Bijuve:

Administration:

• Preparation:
  • Before taking Bijuve, read the medication label and any accompanying member information leaflet.
  • Take Bijuve tablets orally each evening with food.
• Timing:
  • Take Bijuve tablets at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels of estrogen and progesterone in your body.
  • Follow the prescribed dosing schedule and do not skip doses or alter the dosage.
• Administration Technique:
  • Swallow the Bijuve tablet whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this can affect the release of the hormones.
  • If you have difficulty swallowing tablets, talk to your healthcare provider about alternative options.
• Post-Administration Care:
  • After taking Bijuva, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
