What is Estradot (Oestradiol) used for?

Estradot (Oestradiol) is an oral hormone replacement therapy prescribed for the treatment or prevention of symptoms affecting women going through menopause. It operates by boosting reduced levels of hormones in the body to restore the normal balance. This can reduce the occurrence of symptoms such as hot flashes, osteoporosis, reduced sex drive, or vaginal dryness. Your doctor may prescribe this medication to be used along with others or for the treatment of other unlisted conditions, as well.

How should I use Estradot (Oestradiol)?

Estradot (Oestradiol) should be used strictly according to your doctor`s instructions to get the safest and most effective results from treatment. The typical dosage is one tablet administered once each day, but your particular instructions will depend on your age, weight, health condition, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a full glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach. A meal or snack may be recommended prior to each use if you experience nausea. Do not split, crush, or chew the tablets before beginning use as this may destroy or change the effects of their contents. Ask your pharmacist or doctor any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct usage.
