What are the effects of estradiol valerate tablets?
Disease description:
My friend was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, but I’m not sure how serious it is. She has been taking estradiol valerate tablets continuously. Could you please explain the specific therapeutic effects of this medication?
Hello,
Estradiol valerate tablets are primarily used for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer and may also help prevent bone mineral loss in patients at risk of fractures. During the first few months of treatment, adverse reactions such as breast tenderness, nausea, and edema may occur; the incidence of these side effects is dose-dependent, though all are transient. Rarely reported adverse reactions include skin reactions, headache, cholelithiasis, asthma, alopecia, migraine, and venous thrombosis.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
