Estradiol

About this treatment

Estradiol is the main form of estrogen your body makes before menopause. During perimenopause and menopause, estrogen levels drop and fluctuate, which can cause hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, mood changes, vaginal dryness and bone loss.

Estradiol is a bioidentical hormone, chemically the same as the estrogen your body produces. As part of menopausal hormone therapy, it may:

Reduce hot flashes and night sweats

Improve sleep, mood and overall quality of life

Ease vaginal dryness and discomfort

Help protect bone density and lower the risk of osteoporosis

Who it’s for

Women in perimenopause or menopause who want relief from menopausal symptoms.

How it works

Estradiol is a daily oral tablet. A licensed provider reviews your symptoms, health history and family history before prescribing and sets your dose. If you have a uterus, your provider will typically pair estradiol with progesterone to protect the uterine lining. Many women notice symptom relief within a few weeks.

What’s included

A 30-day prescription dispensed by a licensed pharmacy, a provider consultation, and priority shipping at $15 flat fee.

Important safety information

Individual results vary. Estrogen therapy carries risks, including blood clots, stroke and, without progesterone in women with a uterus, endometrial cancer. It isn’t recommended if you are pregnant, have unexplained vaginal bleeding, a history of breast or other estrogen-sensitive cancer, blood clots, stroke, heart attack or liver disease. A provider will determine whether it’s right for you.
