The invention relates to the field of therapeutic chemistry, in particular the field of pharmaceutical hormone technology. More specifically, the invention relates to novel hormonal pharmaceutical compositions comprising an oestrogen-progesterone combination consisting of an oestrogen compound and a progesterone compound combined or mixed with one or more pharmaceutically compatible, inert, non-toxic excipient that is/are suitable for oral administration. The invention also relates to the use of said oestrogen-progesterone mixture in which the oestrogen component and the progesterone component are administered in a combined manner. This combination can be prescribed continuously or intermittently, for treating oestrogen-progesterone deficiencies, for preventing osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases in menopausal women.
