Alternatives to Estratest
Estratest is not the only available method of relieving menopausal symptoms. Other options include:
- Coping strategies, such as wearing lighter clothes for hot flashes or using a vaginal lubricant for dryness
- Other conventional medications
- Natural remedies, including herbal supplements and "bioidentical" hormone replacement therapy.
What If I Take an Overdose of Estratest?
People who take too much Estratest may experience the following symptoms:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Vaginal bleeding (in females).
Estratest tablets should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat, in an airtight container. Keep Estratest and all other medications out of the reach of children.
If you do not take your Estratest as scheduled, take your missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose.
Estratest tablets come in the following strengths:
- Estratest tablets -- 1.25 mg of esterified estrogens and 2.5 mg of methyltestosterone
- Estratest H.S. tablets ("half-strength") -- 0.625 mg of esterified estrogens and 1.25 mg of methyltestosterone.
