With oestradiol we nearly always use 100 mg. although 50 would probably be ok for most women, but would not last so long - but they get very very high oestradiol levels - supraphysiological.

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.
