Depo-Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a female sex hormone that regulates many processes in the body.

Depo-Estradiol injection is used to treat certain symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness, burning, or irritation. It is also used to treat a lack of estrogen that is caused by ovarian failure or a condition called hypogonadism.

Some forms of Depo-Estradiol injection are used in men to treat the symptoms of prostate cancer. Depo-Estradiol treats only the symptoms of prostate cancer but does not treat the cancer itself.
