What is Duavee?

Duavee is a prescription medication used to treat certain menopausal symptoms in women. It is a combination drug that contains conjugated estrogens (a form of estrogen) and bazedoxifene (a selective estrogen receptor modulator or SERM). It is specifically indicated for postmenopausal women with a uterus to relieve moderate to severe hot flashes and to prevent osteoporosis. Bazedoxifene, the SERM component, helps reduce the risk of endometrial hyperplasia, a potential side effect of estrogen therapy.
