Est Estrogens-Methyltest

Pronounced

"METH-ill-tess-TOSS-ter-own/ESS-trow-jen"

Uses

This medication is used for the short-term treatment of menopause symptoms. It helps reduce episodes of flushing and sweating of the upper body and face, commonly called hot flashes. It also helps treat dryness, itching, and burning around the vagina. These symptoms occur when a woman's body no longer produces the usual amount of hormone (estrogen) at the age when monthly menstrual periods normally stop. This medication is a combination of 2 hormones, estrogen and methyltestosterone.

If you need treatment only for vaginal menopause symptoms, products applied directly inside the vagina should be considered before medications that are taken by mouth, absorbed through the skin, or injected.
