Note
that "Progynon-Depot" by Schering, Germany is
estradiol valerate, but "Progynon-Depot 100" by
the very same company is an entirely different substance,
estradiol undecylate. Estradiol undecylate has a longer
chain length than estradiol valerate; its action is therefore
prolonged, and smaller dosages are probably appropriate.
The author does not have enough information to make any
other comments about estradiol undecylate except that it
will reportedly go out of production soon due to the side
effect of "excessive feminization" for its only
labeled usage, prostate cancer.
If you
are allergic to any nut oil, be sure to ask your pharmacist
about the base, especially for the generic form of this
drug. Castor oil is most often employed, which few people
are sensitive to, but a few pharmacies employ other oils
such as sesame, because it is less viscous and easier to
run through their equipment. |
