GYN: Continuous Combined Hormonal TherapyFrom: Garry Siegel (garrys@mindspring.com)Sun Oct 29 09:14:20 2000
How do you decide on which product/regimen to use for those menopausal patients in whom you prescribe long term, continuous comibined therapy? Until recently, the only available product in one pill/patch was Prempro. Here are the ones that I know about. Prempro 2.5 (congugated estrogens 0.625 and MPA 2.5 mg) Prepro 5 (congutated estrogens 0.625 and MPA 5 mg) CombiPatch 50/140 (Estradiol 0.05 and Northinedrone Acetate [NETA]0.14) CombiPatch 50/250 (Estradiol 0.05 and NETA 0.25) FemHRT (Ethinyl Estradiol 0.05 and NETA 1 mg) Activella (17 beta Estradiol 1 mg and NETA 0.5 mg) Ortho Prefest (17ß-estradiol 1 mg/norgestimate 0.09 mg dosed on an intermittent basis—3 days off and 3 days on—in a continuously repeated pattern throughout therapy) Other--for example, I have used estrogen equivalent to 0.625 Premarin and Prometrium 100 mg/day. Anyway, I don't have an compelling reason to use one versus the other, and just wondered how others decided. Garry

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
