Estova 1 Tablet

Estova 1 Tablet is a prescription tablet containing estradiol, a natural estrogen hormone used in women's health. Each Estova 1 Tablet contains estradiol 1 mg per tablet, as labelled. It belongs to the estrogen hormone class and is used to treat symptoms caused by low estrogen, as well as other conditions your clinician determines are appropriate for estrogen therapy.

How it works: Estradiol in Estova 1 Tablet replaces estrogen that the body is no longer making enough of. The tablet is swallowed, absorbed through the digestive tract, and helps reduce symptoms and changes related to low estrogen levels.

Estova 1 Tablet is the 1 mg tablet strength, which is a common oral dose for people who need estrogen replacement in tablet form. Compared with lower strengths, Estova 1 Tablet may provide a stronger hormone effect and is chosen by a doctor based on symptoms, medical history, and how well a lower dose works or is tolerated. There are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand in our catalog, so this product should be used exactly as prescribed.

• Relief of menopausal hot flashes and night sweats
• Treatment of vaginal dryness and discomfort from low estrogen
• Management of estrogen deficiency symptoms

• Swallow Estova 1 Tablet with water; do not chew or crush unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Take it at the same time each day if prescribed on a daily schedule.
• It can be taken with or without food, but taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset.

• If you miss a dose, follow your prescriber’s instructions or the product directions you were given.
• Use only the dosing schedule your doctor selected for this 1 mg tablet.

Each Estova 1 Tablet contains estradiol 1 mg, so this is a standard prescription-strength estrogen tablet rather than a low-dose starter for every patient. How often it is taken depends on the reason it was prescribed; some patients take it once daily, while others may have a different schedule set by their doctor. Do not exceed the amount your clinician prescribes, because the right dose is individualized and the maximum per day depends on your treatment plan.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
