Estradiol / Menopausal HRT

Evidence: ★★★★★ · Status: Prescription

In plain English

Replaces the estrogen that falls at menopause — the most effective treatment for hot flushes and bone loss. Modern transdermal forms are safer than the older pills.

How it works

Binds estrogen receptors (ESR1/ESR2) to restore bone density (RANKL suppression), vasomotor stability, and genitourinary tissue in menopause. Transdermal routes lower clot risk vs oral.
