(Evamist)

Route = transdermal
What vaginal products are available for HRT?
(Local effects)
Estrace vaginal cream
Premarin vaginal cream
Estring vaginal ring, 17-beta estradiol
Vagifem vaginal tablet

(Systemic absorption)
Femring vaginal ring, estradiol acetate
17-beta-estradiol

What route?
No Brand name
Oral = 2 mg qd

(Estring vaginal ring)
Vaginal = 2 mg estradiol ring releases 7.5 mcg/24 hrs; ring remains in vagina for 3 months
What oral combination estrogen-progestin products are available for HRT?
Activella
Femhrt
Prepro
Premphase
What are the estradiol/norethindrone HRT products & how do they differ?
Activella
1 mg/0.5 mg OR
0.5 mg/0.1 mg

Femhrt
2.5 or 5 mcg ethinyl estradiol, 0.5 or 1 mg norethindrone acetate
What's the difference b/n Activella & Femhrt?

What route & type of HRT?
Activella = Estradiol + norethindrone

Femhrt = Ethinyl estradiol + norethindrone acetate

Route = oral combo estrogen-progestin products
What's the difference b/n estradiol & ethinyl estradiol?
17 beta estradiol = most produced in women but quickly oxidizes to estrone

Addition of 17 alpha alkyl gp to estradiol struct = blocks oxidation to estrone & becomes a very effective oral agent
