Estradiol Information

What is Estradiol?
The medication are estrogens that are essential for maintaining normal female functions. It is normally produced by the ovaries. After menopause, the ovaries decrease their production of this hormone. Estrogens can help relieve symptoms of the menopause (hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness and irritation), and help to prevent the onset of osteoporosis (a loss of bone mass, so that bones become brittle and easily broken). This hormones can also help improve female functions in women with hormonal imbalance or problems with their ovaries. They may also be given to certain men or women with inoperable breast cancers or prostate cancer. Occasionally Estradiol are used for other purposes.

Take the tablets by mouth and with a glass of water to help you swallow the tablets. They can also be taken with food or milk if they upset your stomach. Follow the directions on the label and take tbe doses at regular intervals.
