Transdermal estrogen therapy

Elizabeth B. Connell

Abstract

Estrogen replacement therapy is becoming an important weapon in the fight against osteoporosis and heart disease in postmenopausal women, in addition to its original role of alleviating many of the symptoms associated with menopause. Dr. Connell discusses the many benefits of estrogen replacement therapy and the advantages that transdermal administration of estrogen appear to offer over other routes of administration.
