Estradiol Valerate 10mg Injection

Product Introduction

Estradiol Valerate 10mg / 1mL is an injectable estrogen preparation used when estradiol valerate therapy is prescribed. It may be prescribed for moderate to severe menopausal vasomotor symptoms, estrogen-deficiency states, selected hypoestrogenism indications, or other specialist-guided hormone regimens. Estradiol valerate is converted to estradiol, replacing estrogen activity in target tissues.

How to use

Estradiol Valerate 10mg / 1mL is given by IM injection as prescribed by a healthcare professional or by trained self-administration if explicitly taught. Keep follow-up visits for symptom control, bleeding pattern, blood pressure, and risk review.

How it works

Estradiol valerate is an ester prodrug that is converted to estradiol. Estradiol binds estrogen receptors and replaces estrogen activity in tissues affected by deficiency.
