What Is The Common Name For Estradiol Norethindrone Acetate?

Hi I m currently taking Estrace vaginal cream through a local health care plan. I will be moving to Medicare coverage soon, and when I review drug coverage I see tablets, injections, and something called estradiol norethindrone acetate. Is there a particular name I should use when looking for the cream?

Hi There

I've read your question and understanding your concern.

I would like to tell you both Estrace and Activella ( estradiol Norethisteron Acetate) are good as a hormonal replacement therapy. But estradiol Norethisteron Acetate will have little more side effects than Estrace.

But even if you want to try then you can try Activella ( estradiol Norethisteron Acetate ) but if you will experience any side effects like rash, itching, difficult in breathing, chest tightness then stop it right away and seek urgent medical attention.

Wish you Good Luck
