Estrasorb Overdose: An Overview
Estrasorb® (estradiol emulsion) is a prescription medication used to treat
menopause symptoms. It comes as an emulsion (a lotion). Although Estrasorb overdose symptoms are usually not serious, they may vary depending on a number of factors, including the
Estrasorb dosage and how it was taken (applied to the skin or taken by mouth).
Although an Estrasorb overdose is not likely to be serious, it is still important to seek immediate medical attention if you overdose on Estrasorb.
Estrasorb Overdose Symptoms
Fortunately, an Estrasorb overdose is unlikely to cause serious problems. Even in cases when young children overdosed on estrogens similar to Estrasorb, no serious problems occurred. Estrogens (such as estradiol, the estrogen in Estrasorb) can be irritating to the stomach, and an overdose is likely to cause nausea and vomiting (especially if the emulsion is taken by mouth, as may be possible with pets or even young children).
Temporary vaginal bleeding is also possible in females (even young girls) but is not usually a sign of anything serious.
Treating an Estrasorb Overdose
It is not known how to best treat an Estrasorb overdose. Therefore, treatment (if it is even necessary) will involve supportive care, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. In many cases, treatment may not be necessary (although medical attention is still needed to rule out any problems).
Even though an Estrasorb overdose is unlikely to cause serious problems, it is important that you seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you or someone else may have overdosed on Estrasorb.
