Important Note
The following
information is intended to supplement, not substitute for, the
expertise and judgment of your physician, pharmacist or other
healthcare professional. It should not be construed to indicate
that use of the drug is safe, appropriate, or effective for you.
Consult your healthcare professional before using Estradiol drug.
Warning
Estradiol drug has been reported to increase the chance of womb (endometrial)
cancer in women who have been through menopause. This risk
appears to depend on the length of time this drug is used and the
amount of estrogen per dose. If you use this drug for an extended
period, you should be evaluated at least every 6 months. If you
experience abnormal vaginal bleeding, notify your doctor
promptly. Estradiol medication is not effective in preventing or
treating a tendency toward miscarriages (natural habitual
abortion) nor the threat of miscarriage. Estradiol drug must not
be used during pregnancy because its use may result in birth
defects or cancer later in the child's life. If you become
pregnant or think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor
immediately to discuss the risk to the fetus.
Uses
Estradiol medication is a hormone and is given to women who no
longer produce the proper amount. It is used to reduce menopause
symptoms (e.g., hot flashes), for brittle bones (osteoporosis),
and treats certain cancers in both men and women.
How to Use Estradiol
May be taken with food or immediately after a meal to prevent
stomach upset. Take Estradiol medication as prescribed. Follow the
dosing schedule carefully. Be sure to ask your doctor if you have
any questions.
Estradiol Side Effects
May cause dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, stomach upset,
bloating, or nausea. These effects should disappear as your body
adjusts to the medication. Notify your doctor if you experience:
severe depression, calf pain, sudden severe headache, chest pain,
shortness of breath, lumps in the breast, weakness or tingling in
the arms or legs, yellowing of the eyes or skin, changes in
vaginal bleeding (spotting, breakthrough bleeding, prolonged or
complete stoppage of bleeding), stomach pain, skin rash. If you
notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or
pharmacist.
Precautions
Before you take Estradiol medication, tell your doctor your
entire medical history, including: family medical history
(especially breast lumps and cancer), high blood pressure,
diabetes, asthma, epilepsy (seizures), migraine headaches, liver
disease, heart disease, kidney disease, depression, toxemia (high
blood pressure during pregnancy), jaundice (yellowing skin/eyes)
during pregnancy, excessive weight gain and fluid retention
(bloating) during menstrual cycle, uterine fibroid tumor,
abnormal vaginal bleeding, blood clots or stroke, cholesterol or
lipid problems, gallbladder disease. Before having surgery, tell
the doctor that you take this drug. Depending on strength, Estradiol
drug may cause a patchy, darkening of the skin on the face (melasma).
Higher strengths are more likely to cause melasma. Sunlight may
intensify this darkening and you may need to avoid prolonged sun
exposure and sunlamps. Consult your doctor regarding use of
sunscreens and protective clothing. Cigarette smoking can
increase the chance of blood-clots while taking Estradiol medication
(especially in women past the age of 35). Estradiol drug should not be
used during pregnancy. If you become pregnant or think you may be
pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. This drug may be
excreted into breast milk and its use is not recommended while
breast-feeding. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

you may use, especially of: hydantoins (e.g., phenytoin),
barbiturates (e.g., phenobarbital), corticosteroids (e.g.,
prednisone). Estradiol product can affect the results of certain
