Esterified Estrogens


Generic Name: Esterified Estrogens (ess-TER-i-fide ESS-troe-jenz)
Brand Name: Menest

Estrogens have been reported to increase the chance of womb (endometrial) cancer in women who have been through menopause, especially in women who receive estrogen-only hormone therapy. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any unusual vaginal bleeding. Estrogens may also increase the risk of cancer of the ovary or breast. Estrogen-containing products should not be used to prevent heart disease. Estrogen given with another hormone (progestin) for replacement therapy can infrequently cause heart disease (eg, heart attacks), stroke, serious blood clots in the legs or lungs (pulmonary embolism/deep vein thrombosis), dementia, and cancer of the breast. These risks appear to depend on the length of time Esterified Estrogens is used and the amount of estrogen per dose. Therefore, Esterified Estrogens should be used for the shortest possible length of time at the lowest effective dose so that you obtain the benefits and minimize the chance of serious side effects from long-term treatment. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for details.

It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
