Patient summary
Estrace is estradiol 1mg and 2mg tablets, used in the management of menopausal symptoms and low oestrogen states. An oestrogen taken by mouth.
Mechanism of action
Estradiol acts by binding to oestrogen receptors in target tissues. By mimicking the natural female hormone, it regulates gene transcription and restores metabolic and physiological processes disrupted by oestrogen deficiency.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Breastfeeding: Confirm breastfeeding suitability with a qualified clinician or pharmacist before use.
Estrace acts as a source of estradiol, the primary ingredient used to manage menopausal symptoms and hypoestrogenism. To support different therapy requirements, the same medication is also available under labels such as Elleste Solo and Zumenon. This product is supplied as a tablet in 1mg and 2mg strengths.
Buying Estrace online
