[edit] Indications

Estratest is used to treat menopausal women who suffer from hot flashes but do not get relief from estrogen-only therapy

[edit] History

Estratest was first marketed in the United States in 1965 by Reid-Provident Laboratories, which as Reid Rowell was acquired by the Belgian pharmaceutical company Solvay in 1986. There has been some controversy surrounding the drug in recent years as to its status with the FDA.

Solvay is currently sponsoring a clinical trial of Estratest in the United States to determine whether the product is superior to treatment with esterified estrogens tablets

Estratest is sold in tablet form, with either 1.25 mg estrogens/2.5 mg methyltestosterone or 0.625 mg estrogens/1.25 mg methyltestosterone available.
