Estradiol 1 mg Tablet Description
Estradiol may be used to induce estrus (heat) or estrus
behavior and for long-term treatment of urinary incontinence in horses. This
hormone has also been used in dogs and cats as a mismate treatment to avoid
pregnancy. This indication for dogs and cats is rarely used today due to safer
alternatives.
The FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration) has approved estradiol for use in humans, but not animals. The FDA allows veterinarians to prescribe and use products containing this drug in different species or for other conditions in certain situations; however, this drug is not for use in food-producing animals. You and your veterinarian can discuss why this drug is the most appropriate choice.
Sold as individual 1 mg tablets.

Estradiol 1 mg Tablet side effects
Estradiol has a high risk of causing endometrial hyperplasia and pyometra. There is a dose-dependent risk of bone marrow toxicity in animals, particularly in dogs. Estradiol cypionate injections have produced leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and fatal aplastic anemia. Because stem cells can be affected, the bone marrow toxicity may not be reversible. These adverse effects can be severe, and other agents should be used instead of estradiol cypionate if possible.
