Delestrogen contains estradiol valerate, a form of estrogen. It is a prescription medication given by injection and is used to treat certain conditions related to low estrogen levels. It may also be used as palliative treatment for some cases of advanced prostate cancer.
During menopause, the body naturally produces less estrogen. This drop in estrogen can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and sudden feelings of warmth.
Delestrogen can replace some of the estrogen the body is no longer making. This may help reduce the frequency and severity of these symptoms.
Doctors generally aim to use the lowest effective estrogen dose for the shortest amount of time needed to control symptoms.
Lower estrogen levels during menopause can also affect the tissues around the vagina and vulva. These tissues may become thinner, drier, and more sensitive.
This can lead to symptoms such as:
Delestrogen may help improve these symptoms by restoring estrogen levels and supporting the health of vaginal tissues.
If vaginal symptoms are the main reason for treatment, a healthcare provider may consider a local vaginal estrogen treatment instead of estrogen that affects the whole body.
Delestrogen may also be prescribed for hypoestrogenism, which means the body does not make enough estrogen.
Low estrogen levels can happen because of conditions such as:
People with low estrogen may experience symptoms such as hot flashes, changes in menstrual periods, vaginal dryness, or other problems related to reduced estrogen levels.
Delestrogen provides replacement estrogen to help bring hormone levels closer to what the body needs.
Delestrogen may also be used as palliative treatment for advanced androgen-dependent prostate cancer. This means it may help manage symptoms or slow the effects of the disease, but it is not intended to cure the cancer.
Some prostate cancers grow in response to male hormones called androgens, such as testosterone. Estrogen treatment can change the body’s hormone balance and reduce the effects of these hormones.
This use of Delestrogen requires close medical supervision.
Estradiol is similar to the estrogen naturally produced by the body. Estrogen affects many tissues and body functions, including the reproductive system, bones, vagina, and other hormone-sensitive tissues.
When the body does not make enough estrogen, Delestrogen provides additional estrogen. This can help relieve symptoms caused by low hormone levels.
The medication is given as an injection, usually into a muscle, where estradiol valerate is gradually released and converted to active estradiol in the body.
Delestrogen should be used only under the direction of a healthcare professional. Estrogen treatment has important benefits and risks, and it may not be suitable for everyone.
Before starting treatment, tell your healthcare provider about your medical history and all medications you take. This is especially important if you have a history of blood clots, stroke, heart disease, certain cancers, liver problems, or unexplained vaginal bleeding.
Your healthcare provider will decide whether Delestrogen is appropriate for you and how long treatment should continue.
Delestrogen is given as an intramuscular (IM) injection, which means the medication is injected deep into a muscle. According to the prescribing information, the injection should be given slowly and deeply into the upper outer area of the buttock.
The amount you receive and how often you receive it depend on why you are taking Delestrogen, your symptoms, and how your body responds to treatment.
For some people, the injection is given by a healthcare professional. If you have been instructed to give the injection yourself, make sure a doctor, nurse, or pharmacist has shown you the correct technique first.
If you have been trained to give Delestrogen yourself, prepare your supplies before starting. You will usually need the Delestrogen vial, a sterile syringe and needle, alcohol swabs, clean gauze or cotton, and an approved sharps container.
Wash your hands well with soap and water. Check the medication vial before use and make sure you are using the correct strength and prescribed dose.
Clean the rubber top of the vial and the injection area with an alcohol swab. Allow the skin to dry before giving the injection.
Draw the amount prescribed by your healthcare provider into the syringe. Delestrogen is available in different concentrations, so the amount of liquid needed may vary depending on the strength of your vial and your prescribed dose.
Do not guess how much medication to draw up. Follow the instructions given by your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Use a new, sterile needle and syringe for every injection. Never reuse or share injection equipment.
Delestrogen should be injected deep into the gluteal muscle, usually in the upper outer part of the buttock. The medication should be injected slowly.
After the injection, remove the needle carefully. You can apply gentle pressure with clean gauze or cotton if there is a small amount of bleeding.
Avoid rubbing or aggressively massaging the injection site unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to do so.
Place the used needle and syringe immediately into an approved sharps container.
For people using Delestrogen to treat moderate to severe menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats, the usual dose is:
10 mg to 20 mg injected into a muscle every 4 weeks.
Your healthcare provider may adjust the dose depending on how well your symptoms are controlled and whether you experience side effects.
Estrogen treatment should generally be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest amount of time appropriate for your treatment goals and individual risks.
Delestrogen may also be used to treat hypoestrogenism, which means the body does not produce enough estrogen. This can occur with conditions such as hypogonadism, primary ovarian failure, or loss of normal ovarian function.
The usual dose is:
10 mg to 20 mg injected into a muscle every 4 weeks.
Your healthcare provider may adjust the dose based on your symptoms and response to treatment.
Delestrogen may be used as palliative treatment for advanced androgen-dependent prostate cancer.
The recommended dose is:
30 mg or more injected into a muscle every 1 to 2 weeks.
Your healthcare provider will decide the exact dose and schedule based on your condition and response to treatment.
If you miss a scheduled Delestrogen injection, contact your healthcare provider for instructions.
Do not give yourself a larger dose or two injections close together unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to do so.
The length of treatment varies from person to person. Some people may need Delestrogen for a short period to control symptoms, while others may require longer treatment for an ongoing hormone-related condition.
Your healthcare provider should regularly review whether you still need treatment and whether your current dose remains appropriate.
Some people may experience temporary discomfort at the injection site, such as tenderness, soreness, or mild irritation.
Because Delestrogen is an estrogen medication, you may also experience hormone-related effects during treatment. Tell your healthcare provider about any new or unusual symptoms.
Seek medical attention promptly if you develop serious symptoms such as chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, severe headache, sudden vision changes, or pain and swelling in one leg, as these can be signs of serious complications associated with estrogen therapy.
Use Delestrogen exactly as prescribed. Do not change your dose, injection frequency, or stop treatment without speaking with your healthcare provider.
If you are giving the injections yourself, make sure you fully understand how to prepare the dose, choose the correct injection site, give the injection safely, and dispose of needles properly.
If you are unsure about any part of the injection process, contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist before giving your next dose.
Delestrogen (Estradiol) is available in the following forms and strength:
Delestrogen can cause side effects and may not be suitable for everyone. Before starting treatment, tell your healthcare provider about your medical history and all medicines, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you use.
Delestrogen may interact with certain medicines, including some blood thinners and thyroid medications.
These interactions may change how well your medicines work or increase the risk of side effects. Make sure your healthcare provider knows about everything you take before starting Delestrogen.
Estrogen therapy can increase the risk of endometrial cancer, which affects the lining of the uterus. This risk may be higher in people who have a uterus and use estrogen without another hormone called a progestogen.
Your healthcare provider can discuss your individual risks and benefits and decide whether additional treatment or monitoring is needed.
Report any unusual or unexpected vaginal bleeding to your healthcare provider.
Long-term hormone therapy may increase the risk of breast cancer in some people.
Talk with your healthcare provider about your personal and family medical history before starting treatment. Follow recommendations for regular breast exams and mammograms.
Delestrogen should be used carefully in people with liver problems. Estrogen is processed by the liver, and certain liver conditions may affect how the medicine is handled by the body.
Your healthcare provider may recommend blood tests or other monitoring if you have a history of liver disease.
Delestrogen should not be used during pregnancy.
If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, are planning a pregnancy, or are breastfeeding, tell your healthcare provider before using Delestrogen. Estrogen can also pass into breast milk and may affect milk production.
Estrogen therapy can increase the risk of blood clots and stroke.
Your risk may be higher if you have other health conditions such as:
Seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden chest pain, trouble breathing, weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, or sudden vision changes.
Estrogen treatment may increase the risk of gallbladder disease, including gallstones.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of gallstones or gallbladder problems. Contact them if you develop severe pain in the upper right side of your abdomen, especially with nausea or vomiting.
Delestrogen may affect certain thyroid-related blood test results and can change the amount of thyroid hormone your body needs.
If you take thyroid medication, your healthcare provider may monitor your thyroid levels and adjust your treatment if necessary.
Delestrogen may trigger or worsen migraines in some people.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of migraines. Contact them if your headaches become more frequent, more severe, or are accompanied by unusual symptoms such as vision changes, weakness, or difficulty speaking.
Store Delestrogen at room temperature, usually between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Keep the medication away from excessive heat, light, and moisture. Store it in its original container and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Do not use Delestrogen if the vial is damaged or if the medication looks unusual. Ask your pharmacist if you are unsure whether it is safe to use.
How quickly Delestrogen works depends on why you are using it, your dose, and how your body responds. Some people may notice improvement in symptoms within days or weeks, while other effects may take longer. If you are using Delestrogen for hormone therapy, some physical changes may develop gradually over several months. Keep using the medication as prescribed and attend regular follow-up appointments so your healthcare provider can monitor your progress.
Delestrogen should not be used during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, tell your healthcare provider. If you are breastfeeding, speak with your healthcare provider before using Delestrogen. Estrogen can pass into breast milk and may also reduce milk production.
No. Delestrogen may not be suitable for everyone. Tell your healthcare provider about your full medical history before starting treatment. This is especially important if you have a history of blood clots, stroke or heart disease, certain hormone-sensitive cancers, liver disease, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or migraine headaches. Your healthcare provider will consider the possible benefits and risks before prescribing Delestrogen.
If you miss a scheduled Delestrogen injection, contact your healthcare provider for instructions. Do not take an extra dose or give two injections close together to make up for the missed dose unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to do so. Your healthcare provider can help you decide when to receive your next injection and whether your regular schedule needs to be adjusted.
