General Information on Estrace
Estrace is a form of estrogen, which is a naturally produced female sex hormone secreted by the ovaries. This production of estrogen is essential for many body processes, including female development. Estrace is the brand name of the active ingredient Estradiol. It is most commonly used for the treatment of menopause and its symptoms. You can buy Estrace to decrease vaginal dryness or irritation and curb hot flashes that many women experience during menopause. Postmenopausal women can use Estrace not only as a hormone replacement, but to also prevent the onset of osteoporosis. The drug is also used to treat certain types of cancer in both men and women.
Side Effects of Estrace
Estrace should not be used by women who are pregnant as it could result in birth defects. Estrace can also pass through breast milk in women who are nursing.
Do not use Estrace if you have liver disease or breast or uterine cancer. The use of Estrace may also increase the risk of blood clots, heart attacks, or stroke. This risk greatly increases in patients who have Type 1 or 2 diabetes, uncontrolled high blood pressure, and high cholesterol .
Patients should consider the risk of complications by examining their own and the family history before using Estrace. The long term use of Estrace is not recommended since it can increase the risk of breast cancer in some patients. It is recommended that the risks of long term use are discussed with the prescribing physician before prolonged therapy with Estrace is considered. As a precaution, the patient should routinely have medical exams and mammograms undertaken to check for lumps due to the use of Estrace. Any abnormal lumps or growths or other findings should be reported to the doctor immediately.
Dosage of Estrace
You can buy Estrace as an oral tablet in the following strengths- Estrace 0.5mg, Estrace 1mg, and Estrace 2mg of micronized Estradiol per tablet. Patients are usually prescribed one or two tablets of Estrace to be had once daily. However, the dosage may depend on a number of factors, such as height, weight, age, and the patients’ health.
