Main Article Content

N.A. Tsubanova

Abstract

The article presents pharmacodynamic characteristics of the components of the Normocycle® phytocomposition (Organosyn pharmaceutical company), the main active components of which are extracts of Symplocos race­mosa, Asparagus racemosus, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Curcuma longa. The components of the Normocycle® phytocomposition have been analyzed from the point of view of evidence-based medicine, the clinical efficacy and safety of the Normocycle in the therapy of hormonal imbalances in women have been substantiated.
