Estrasorb is topical emulsion containing estradiol. Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a female sex hormone that regulates many processes in the body.

Estrasorb is used to after menopause to reduce moderate to severe hot flashes. The ovaries normally stop making estrogens when a woman is between 45 to 55 years old. When the estrogen levels begin dropping, some women develop very uncomfortable symptoms, such as feelings of warmth in the face, neck, and chest, or sudden strong feelings of heat and sweating (“hot flashes” or “hot flushes”). In some women, the symptoms are mild, and they will not need estrogens. In other women, symptoms can be more severe.

Estrasorb may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
