I can't find diethylstilbestrol tablets. Are there any alternative medications available?

Diethylstilbestrol tablets are now called Estradiol Valerate tablets. Generally, when Estradiol Valerate tablets are unavailable, another medication may be used as a substitute if there is a clear indication for substitution and an appropriate alternative drug exists, following a doctor's evaluation. However, if there is no clear indication or suitable alternative drug available, substitution with another medication should not be done arbitrarily. If you have any concerns, it is recommended to consult a doctor in advance. Detailed explanation is as follows:

When used for treating estrogen deficiency-related diseases, and when estrogen medications with similar structure and efficacy are available, a doctor may prescribe an alternative medication based on a comprehensive assessment of the patient's condition and health status, so as to maintain the treatment effectiveness under the guidance of a doctor.

If a patient's condition is special, requiring a specific estrogen dosage or mode of action that cannot be matched by other drugs, or if the patient has contraindications to the alternative medication, such as an allergy to components of the alternative drug, substitution with another medication should not be done arbitrarily to avoid affecting treatment or causing adverse reactions.

Before using any substitute medication, a professional doctor must conduct a diagnosis and evaluation. Strictly follow medical advice regarding medication use; never change medication types or dosages on your own.
