As you know, many docs are using "compounded natural estrogens" (estradiol, estone etc) in menopausal patients. These patients believe these are safer becauise they are "natural" despite the literature, including ACOG's pamphlet, which clearly states that "natural is not safer". Does anyone have prospective references to support the use of these as being different from any synthetic estrogen?

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.
