Bijuva is a prescription medication that combines estradiol and progesterone in a single oral capsule, used to treat moderate to severe hot flashes associated with menopause in women who still have a uterus. It works by replacing the estrogen the body produces less of after menopause, while the progesterone component protects the uterine lining from the overgrowth that estrogen alone can cause. Its purpose is to relieve bothersome menopausal symptoms while reducing the risk of endometrial complications that can occur when estrogen is used without a progestogen.
Bijuva is a bioidentical hormone therapy, meaning the estradiol and progesterone it contains are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the body, which distinguishes it from some other hormone therapies that use synthetic or animal-derived hormone compounds. The estradiol component works systemically to restore estrogen levels that decline during menopause, helping to reduce the frequency and severity of vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats, which occur due to changes in the body's temperature regulation as estrogen levels drop. Because unopposed estrogen can cause the uterine lining, or endometrium, to thicken abnormally and increase the risk of endometrial cancer, the progesterone component is included specifically to protect the uterus by helping to suppress or stabilize the endometrial lining, which is why Bijuva is only indicated for women who still have a uterus rather than those who have had a hysterectomy.
Bijuva is taken as a single capsule once daily, and it fits into treatment plans as a combined hormone therapy option for menopausal symptom relief, generally used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to achieve treatment goals, consistent with general guidance for hormone therapy. Before starting Bijuva, patients should discuss their personal and family medical history with their healthcare provider, including any history of blood clots, stroke, heart disease, breast cancer, or liver disease, since hormone therapy carries certain risks that need to be weighed against its benefits for each individual. Regular follow-up visits, including breast exams, mammograms, and monitoring for abnormal bleeding, are important parts of ongoing care while taking this medication. Patients should also be counseled that Bijuva is not intended for the prevention of heart disease or dementia, and that hormone therapy decisions should be reassessed periodically with their healthcare provider based on symptoms, age, and overall health status.
Common side effects of Bijuva include breast tenderness, headache, abdominal or pelvic pain, and irregular vaginal bleeding or spotting, particularly during the first few months of use as the body adjusts to the hormone combination. More serious risks associated with combined hormone therapy include an increased chance of blood clots in the legs or lungs, stroke, heart attack, and in some cases breast cancer, so patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms such as sudden leg pain or swelling, chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden severe headache, vision changes, or weakness on one side of the body. There is also a risk of endometrial changes if the medication is not taken consistently as prescribed, so any unexpected or heavy vaginal bleeding should be reported to a healthcare provider promptly for evaluation. Patients with a history of hormone-sensitive cancers, active liver disease, or unexplained vaginal bleeding are generally advised against use, and anyone experiencing signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, swelling of the face or throat, or difficulty breathing, should seek emergency care right away. Because hormone therapy carries these potential risks, patients should have regular check-ins with their provider to reassess whether continued use remains appropriate for their individual health profile.

Answers to common questions about treatment, pricing, and how this all works.
Why should I trust TelyRx?

What will my medication cost?

Do I need to have a prescription?
Not to get started. Complete a short health attestation, and a licensed provider will review your request entirely online. Already have a prescription? You can transfer it to TelyRx directly.
How do I transfer my existing prescription to the TelyRx platform?
Make sure you have created an account with TelyRx if you haven't already done so. Select the “I have a prescription” option when adding your request to your cart. If we don’t have the exact medication (dosage, quantity, formulation) matching your prescription, we recommend that you request a prescription through our platform to reduce any potential delay or denial. Provide your current pharmacy’s name and phone number, as well as your prescription number. Our customer service team will reach out for more information as needed.
If your prescription details differ from the order you submitted, such as if the dosage differs, your order will be cancelled and you will not be charged.
If we do not have your exact match in dosage, quantity, or formulation, we recommend selecting the “I need a prescription” option to avoid potential fulfillment delays. Your request will be reviewed by an independent, licensed provider.
Why does my medicine look different than the product photo?
Medication appearance can vary depending on the manufacturer. No matter which company creates it, the drug you receive will always be FDA-approved and bioequivalent. This means it contains the same active ingredient(s), at the same dosage, for the same intended use. The medicine you receive is just as safe and effective, even if it doesn't look exactly like the photo.
We work with a network of trusted American wholesalers and manufacturers to keep your medications high-quality, FDA-approved, and reliably in stock. From time to time, we may switch manufacturers to ensure you never run out of the medication you depend on.
In the rare case that a bioequivalent version isn't available, we'll cancel your order and refund you the cost — because your safety always comes first.
