Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a female sex hormone produced by the ovaries. It works by replacing estrogen that is normally produced by the body, helping to reduce menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Efficacy is usually noticed within a few weeks of regular use.
Do not use if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or have a history of breast cancer, uterine cancer, or blood clots. Do not use if you have unusual vaginal bleeding or liver disease. Not recommended for children.
This medication may interact with certain seizure medications, blood thinners like warfarin, and thyroid medications. Inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking. Avoid grapefruit and its juice as it may increase effects.
Common side effects include nausea, headache, bloating, breast tenderness, and mood changes. Serious but rare side effects include increased risk of blood clots, stroke, and heart attack. Contact your doctor if experiencing unusual vaginal bleeding or symptoms of a blood clot (such as swelling or redness in the leg).
