Is Estradiol As Effective As Premarin To Manage Menopausal Symptoms?

My doctor gave me a prescription for Estradiol to help with my menopause and hot flashes. When I read about it Iam not sure it is for the same symptoms. I have had a hysterectomy and need something to help my hot flashes. I get them all the time and am miserable. I was taking premerin and it really helped but my doctor does not like how it is made so will not prescribe it for me. Will the Estraadiol do
the same as the Premarin ?

Hi,

Estradiol will help you the same as Premarine that contains conjugated estrogen. They have the same effect on replacing the low estrogen levels in menopause. I prefer Premarine for my patients.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
