Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and welcome.
Thank you for writing in.
FemHrt contains norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol. This is available in the following brand names: alesse 21, alesse 28, brevicon 0.5/35, brevicon 1/35, cyclen,
estalis, estalis-sequi, estracomb, linessa 21, linessa 28, marvelon, min-ovral 21, min-ovral 28, ortho-0.5/35, ortho-1/35, ortho-7/7/7, ovral 21, select 1/35, synphasic, tri-Cyclen, tri-Cyclen Lo, triphasil 21, triphasil 28, triquilar 21, triquilar 28.
These are the available trade names in Canada. But this is a hormonal supplement and is thus a prescription drug, and in Canada and US it is even more strict. So you will have to visit a doctor for the same ma'am.
I hope this information helps you. Please feel free to contact me for any further clarifications or information. I would be more than happy to help.
Best wishes.
