Description

Estradiol is a form of the hormone estrogen that has been modified to be more lipophilic. It is used in combination with other drugs to treat menopausal symptoms and as an adjuvant for the treatment of breast cancer in women. Estradiol 17-valerate is also used in the treatment of schizophrenia, although not as often as estradiol valerate, because it has a shorter duration of action. The mechanism of action is thought to be due to its ability to increase the concentration of dopamine at nerve terminals by blocking reuptake or inhibiting its metabolism. This may result in relief from distal tubule dysfunction and an improvement in urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hypertrophy. There are many other possible mechanisms of action including the prevention of bone loss, increased bone age, and increased NMDA receptor binding potentials.
