Description
Estradiol 2 mg tablets contain estradiol, a form of estrogen hormone that is chemically identical to the major estrogen produced naturally by the ovaries. Oral estradiol is available in strengths including 0.5 mg, 1 mg and 2 mg.
Estradiol may be prescribed as hormone therapy when estrogen supplementation is medically appropriate. Depending on the patient’s condition, it may help manage symptoms associated with estrogen deficiency, particularly certain menopausal symptoms. It may also be prescribed for prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis in selected patients when other non-estrogen treatments are not considered appropriate.
