Ethinyloestradiol tablets 10mg are a synthetic oestrogen medication used as hormone replacement therapy for the relief of menopausal symptoms, to treat prostatic and breast cancer and for male to female transgender hormone therapy.
Symptoms of menopause caused by significantly lower levels of oestrogen being produced in the body include night sweats, hot flushes, vaginal dryness and atrophy, headaches, mood swings, osteoporosis, and increased risk of fracture. Hormone replacement therapy with ethinyloestradiol helps to manage these symptoms.
The use of ethinyloestradiol in a male-to-female gender reassignment program is to develop female body characteristics such as larger breasts and an overall feminine body shape.
