Estradiol benzoate/estradiol valerate/norethisterone acetate/testosterone enanthate
(Redirected from Ablacton)
Estradiol benzoate/estradiol valerate/norethisterone acetate/testosterone enanthate is a combination medication used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and for other medical purposes. This combination includes four active ingredients: estradiol benzoate, estradiol valerate, norethisterone acetate, and testosterone enanthate.
Components[edit | edit source]
Estradiol Benzoate[edit | edit source]
Estradiol benzoate is an estrogen ester and a form of estradiol, a naturally occurring estrogen hormone. It is used in HRT to manage symptoms of menopause and other conditions related to estrogen deficiency.
Estradiol Valerate[edit | edit source]
Estradiol valerate is another estrogen ester and a prodrug of estradiol. It is used similarly to estradiol benzoate in HRT and for the treatment of hypoestrogenism.
Norethisterone Acetate[edit | edit source]
Norethisterone acetate is a progestin and a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. It is used in combination with estrogens in HRT to prevent endometrial hyperplasia and to regulate the menstrual cycle.
Testosterone Enanthate[edit | edit source]
Testosterone enanthate is an androgen and anabolic steroid used primarily in the treatment of hypogonadism in males. In combination therapies, it helps to balance the hormonal effects of estrogens and progestins.
Medical Uses[edit | edit source]
The combination of these four hormones is used in various therapeutic contexts, including:
- Hormone replacement therapy for menopausal symptoms
- Treatment of hypogonadism
- Management of gender dysphoria in transgender individuals
Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]
The combination works by supplementing or replacing endogenous hormones. Estradiol benzoate and estradiol valerate provide estrogenic effects, norethisterone acetate offers progestogenic activity, and testosterone enanthate supplies androgenic effects. Together, they help to maintain hormonal balance and alleviate symptoms associated with hormone deficiencies or imbalances.
Administration[edit | edit source]
This combination medication is typically administered via intramuscular injection. The dosage and frequency depend on the specific medical condition being treated and the individual patient's response to therapy.
