Clinical Information
Apply the cream topically to clean, dry skin on the arms or thighs once daily at the same time each day. Use the provided applicator to measure the dose accurately. If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember, but skip it if it's almost time for your next application. Do not double the dose.
Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a female hormone that helps regulate many processes in the body. When applied topically, it is absorbed through the skin and can help with symptoms associated with menopause like hot flashes or vaginal dryness. Effects are usually noticeable within a few weeks.
Do not use if you are pregnant, as it can harm the unborn baby. Do not use if you have a history of hormone-sensitive cancers, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or severe liver disease. Avoid if you are allergic to estradiol or any ingredient in this cream.
Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking as estradiol can interact with anticoagulants and anticonvulsants, affecting their efficacy. Avoid applying other topical products on the same area to prevent interference with absorption.
Common: skin irritation at the application site, headache, breast tenderness, nausea. Contact your doctor if you experience persistent or severe reactions like significant skin rash, swelling, or mood changes.
Store at a controlled room temperature between 68-77°F (20-25°C). Keep the container tightly closed and away from moisture and direct sunlight. Do not store in the bathroom. Dispose of no longer needed or expired cream according to local regulations, ideally through a pharmacy take-back program.
