Estradiol is an effective drug prescribed for the treatment of menopause symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, irritation and burning. Estradiol
injection is also prescribed for hypogonadism.
Always follow the doctor’s direction while taking Estradiol. The drug has to be injected in the muscles. Unless you know how to take injections, do not
inject Estradiol on your own.
Always be careful not to take an overdose. If you experience vomiting, nausea and vaginal bleeding, which are some of the overdose symptoms, you have to
contact your doctor immediately.
Before Estradiol is prescribed, tell your doctor if you have diabetes, epilepsy, high blood pressure, cholesterol or triglycerides, angina, heart disease,
liver or kidney disease, asthma or if your uterus is removed.
The doctors do not prescribe the drug if you have a history of blood clot, stroke, hormone related cancers and abnormal vaginal breeding. Estradiol is
also not prescribed for pregnant women and breast-feeding women, as the drug is known to cause harm to the unborn and the new born.
Estradiol may also increase the risk of developing endometrial hyperplasia, a condition that can lead to uterus cancer. Long -term use of this injection
increases the risk of breast cancer and heart attack.
