It is also used as part of combined androgen deprivation therapy in certain cases of advanced androgen-dependent carcinoma of the prostate.
How does Estradiol work?+
Estradiol binds to estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ) and modulates the transcription of estrogen-responsive genes. This action restores estrogenic activity in target tissues, helping to alleviate symptoms of estrogen deficiency and maintain bone health.

The usual initial dosage range is 1 to 2 mg daily of estradiol, adjusted as necessary to control presenting symptoms.
