Estradiol Valerate 4mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Estradiol Valerate 4mg is an oral estrogen hormone therapy used for menopausal symptoms, estrogen deficiency, and selected osteoporosis-prevention or hormone-replacement plans when the benefits outweigh risks. It is not for preventing heart disease or dementia. People with a uterus usually need a progestogen alongside systemic estrogen to lower the risk of endometrial overgrowth or cancer.

How to use

Take Estradiol Valerate 4mg as prescribed, at the same time each day, with or without food. Do not stop abruptly without review. Keep routine breast, pelvic, blood-pressure, and risk-review appointments.

How it works

Estradiol replaces estrogen activity by binding estrogen receptors in target tissues, reducing symptoms caused by estrogen deficiency.

Common side effects

Possible effects include headache, breast tenderness, nausea, bloating, abdominal cramps, spotting, mood change, weight change, and hair changes. Serious concerns include blood clots, stroke, heart attack, gallbladder disease, liver problems, breast cancer risk, and endometrial cancer risk if unopposed.

Important information

Review clot history, stroke, heart disease, breast/endometrial cancer risk, unexplained bleeding, liver disease, gallbladder disease, migraine, high triglycerides, smoking, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and progestogen need if uterus is present.
