Estradiol diundecylate/hydroxyprogesterone heptanoate/testosterone cyclohexylpropionate is a combination medication used in hormone therapy. This medication combines three different hormones: estradiol diundecylate, hydroxyprogesterone heptanoate, and testosterone cyclohexylpropionate. Each of these components plays a specific role in the treatment regimen.
