Estradiol

Estradiol is a form of estrogen. It is a female hormone which is typically given to women who no longer produce the proper amount of this hormone. It is used to reduce menopause symptoms (for example, hot flashes and vaginal dryness), to prevent bone loss (osteoporosis) in people at high risk, or possibly even to treat certain cancers in men and women (e.g., certain types of metastatic breast cancer). It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by a doctor. Like other sex steroids, Estradiol is derived from cholesterol.
