Estrasorb Medication - Uses & Side Effects

Estradiol is a form of estrogen. It is a female sex hormone the regulates many processes in the body. Estrasorb (estradiol topical emulsion) is designed to deliver estradiol to the blood circulation following topical application of an emulsion.

Estrasorb gives you all the benefits of estrogen, but because it is the only soy-based lotion , it is delivered differently from any other kind of estrogen therapy. The estrogen in Estrasorb is bio-identical estradiol. That means it is the same as the estrogen your body makes naturally . Technically speaking, Estrasorb is an emulsion of tiny particles of estrogen and soybean oil. Once the Estrasorb lotion is rubbed on, the estradiol is absorbed into your skin and stays there .
