Is Estradiol Better Than Lo Loestrin FE?
I am currently taking Lo Loestrin FE and my PCare just switched me to Estradiol/Norethindrone Acetate Tablets 1.0mg/.5mg and .5gm/.1mg because I m 53 and have A DHP breast tissue. What are the differences in Progesterone and Estrogen from the two RX and is the Estradiol a better choice?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Both the drugs are structurally similar but belongs to two different generations of hormonal preparation. Estradiol is a better choice as side effects are minimal with this newer generation drug.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks
