Estradiol Drug
Information
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 this drug.
Online Estradiol Use Indication:
Estradiol products are used to
reduce symptoms of menopause, including feelings of warmth in
the face, neck, and chest; the sudden intense episodes of heat
and sweating known as "hot flashes"; dry, itchy external
genitals; and vaginal irritation.
This 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.
May be taken with food or immediately after a meal to prevent
stomach upset. Take this medication as prescribed. Follow the
dosing schedule carefully. Be sure to ask your doctor if you
have any questions.
Estradiol medication 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.

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 this medication
(especially in women past the age of 35). This drug should not
be used during pregnancy. If you become pregnant or think you
may be pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. Estradiol drug
may be excreted into breast milk and its use is not recommended
while breast-feeding. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

of: hydantoins (e.g., phenytoin), barbiturates (e.g.,
phenobarbital), corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone). This product
