Mechanism of action

Placebo is an inert substance used as a control in clinical trials to establish the efficacy of the active drug (estradiol/norethindrone acetate combination). It contains no active ingredients and serves as a baseline comparator to demonstrate that any observed clinical benefit is due to the active hormone therapy rather than non-specific effects.
