Estrabet 2 Tablet

Estrabet 2 Tablet is a prescription estrogen medicine containing estradiol 2 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the estrogen hormone class and is used to treat low-estrogen conditions and related symptoms in women. Estrabet 2 Tablet may be prescribed for menopausal symptoms, vaginal dryness, and other conditions where estrogen replacement is needed.

How it works: Estradiol replaces or supplements the estrogen your body is no longer making in enough amount. As a swallowed tablet, Estrabet 2 Tablet is absorbed through the digestive system and helps reduce symptoms caused by low estrogen levels.

Estrabet 2 Tablet is the higher-strength tablet in the Estrabet line, with 2 mg of estradiol per tablet, compared with Estrabet 1 Tablet. Because it delivers more estradiol per dose, a doctor may choose this strength for people who need a stronger estrogen effect or who have not responded adequately to a lower strength. It is not a lower starting-strength option for everyone and should be used only when your prescriber has assessed that this dose is appropriate.

• Relief of menopausal symptoms
• Treatment of estrogen deficiency
• Management of vaginal dryness related to menopause
• Hormone replacement therapy as prescribed by a doctor

• Swallow Estrabet 2 Tablet whole with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it exactly at the time and frequency prescribed; do not change the dose on your own.
• You can usually take it with or without food, but taking it with food may help if it upsets your stomach.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically tells you to.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Follow your doctor’s schedule carefully because this 2 mg tablet is a higher-strength estradiol tablet than Estrabet 1 Tablet.

Each Estrabet 2 Tablet contains estradiol 2 mg, which is a higher-strength oral estrogen tablet. The dosing schedule is individualized; some patients may take it once daily, but only your doctor should decide how often you should take it and whether this strength is right for you. Do not take more than prescribed, since the maximum daily dose depends on your condition and your prescriber’s treatment plan.

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