Brand names of ovarian hormones (estrogens and progestins)

OVARIAN HORMONE THERAPY

Specific varieties

"natural"(NHRT)

When this page of brand names was developed in 1997, there were many fewer varieties of ovarian therapy (ERT/HRT) and no comprehensive listings so I collected the information below the double line. This has some later additions and what is there is correct but as a list it is out of date and incomplete. For basic information about types of OHT, go to Which OHT? Important: Before taking any drug, read the patient information sheet which should have been supplied with it. If you want specific information about a brand name drug, the best thing to do is to consult http://rxlist.com and search on the brand name. You may get the choice of two links - if you are accessing the (recommended) more comprehensive information linked from the left side of the page, do not overlook the linked blue "tabs" at the top of the screen. You may find yourself on a generic page but the information will apply equally to the brand name version. Information specific to the UK can be accessed through the British National Formulary which requires free registration. Once registered, you can find info about oestrogens in section 6.4.1.1 and about progestogens at 6.4.1.2 Information on oestrogens specific to Australia can be found with some difficulty through http://healthanswers.telstra.com/drugdata/search.asp?SearchLetter=1search_string=O Just look at all entires beginning with oestr. For progestagens, you will have to have the brand name and search from the base page at http://healthanswers.telstra.com/drugdata/ To find details (including other brand names) of these commonly used agents: estradiol (Climara, Vivelle, Estraderm, Estrace, Estring, Vagifem) then go to http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/estrad.htm and/or http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic2/estradtd.htm (transdermal) conjugated horse estrogens (Premarin) then go to http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/conest.htm conjugated plant estrogens (Cenestin, C.E.E) http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/cenestin.htm esterified estrogens (Estratab, Menest): http://www.rxlist.com/frame/display.cgi?drug=ESTRATAB ethinyl estradiol http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic3/estinyl_ids.htm norethindrone acetate (Aygestin): http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/norestoc.htm which refers to contraceptive use but it is the same drug. medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera, Cycrin) : http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/medrox.htm Incomplete list of BRAND NAMES of ovarian hormones Note that oral dosages are much higher than transdermal ones due to the "first-pass effect" of processing by the liver. This greatly reduces the amount available for use and means that direct comparisons of strengths cannot be made. The most commonly prescribed ovarian hormones in the USA - estrogens progestagens (charts adapted from those at http://www.menopause-online.com which has further information) Other collections of brand names UK hormone names For Australia, look here at anything beginning with "oestr" PLANT BASED ESTROGENS typically estradiol There is no evidence that natural estrogens are more or less hazardous than synthetic estrogens at equivalent estrogen doses.
