Ethinyl Estradiol

Uses

Ethinyl Estradiol is used for hormone replacement therapy, postmenopausal osteoporosis, and prostate cancer.

How it Works

How Ethinyl Estradiol Works Ethinyl Estradiol is a synthetic estrogen, a female hormone. In women of reproductive age, it helps maintain a normal menstrual cycle. In women undergoing menopause, it addresses the deficiency of estrogen, thereby preventing symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.

Side Effects

  • It may also be prescribed to treat prostate cancer in men and to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
  • Take it at the same time every day to help you remember to take it.
  • You may experience menstrual irregularities, such as spotting or bleeding between periods, or missed periods. Consult your doctor if this persists.
  • Ensure that you undergo regular breast screenings (to check for lumps or any abnormal changes) and cervical smear tests while taking this medicine.
  • Stop taking this medicine and inform your doctor immediately if you notice:
    • Unexplained swelling and pain in your limbs
    • Shortness of breath
    • Chest pain
    • Severe headache
    • Changes in vision
