What does it do?

Estradiol valerate is a synthetic hormone belonging to the estrogen class, which is the primary female sex hormone. It is used in medications mainly to balance female hormones and regulate the menstrual cycle.

It is converted to estradiol in the body and acts on female reproductive organs and related tissues. This helps promote the growth and development of the endometrium, maintaining a normal menstrual cycle.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike other estrogen preparations, estradiol valerate is gradually broken down in the body, resulting in a sustained hormonal effect. This characteristic reduces the risk of side effects by minimizing abrupt fluctuations in hormone levels.
