The usual dose is one 1 mg or 2 mg tablet taken once a day, swallowed whole with water. Your doctor will decide whether you take it every day or in a cycle (for example, 21 days on, 7 days off). It can be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time every day.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember — but if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not take two tablets at once to make up for it.
Only buy from licensed pharmacies — avoid roadside sellers or unverified online stores, as fake hormone drugs are common. Do not share this medication with anyone, even if they have similar symptoms. Attend your regular check-ups with your doctor while on this drug, as long-term use needs monitoring.
Some anti-seizure drugs like carbamazepine and phenytoin can reduce how well estradiol works. Herbal remedies like St. John's Wort can also reduce its effectiveness. Alcohol can increase the risk of side effects like dizziness and may worsen liver problems.
