Title: Is ESTRADIOL VALERATE(Progynova) pills safe?
Post by: Shelina on June 02, 2009, 11:11:21 AM
I've head all sorts of nasty stuffs about pills but now what about ESTRADIOL VALERATE pills(PROGYNOVA), IS THIS SAFE?

Anybody has experience with this?

And one thing most important that I was curious, these pills are to be taken orally(swallow with water) and is fairly small but what if I take it sublingually, will it have the same effect?

Somebody please answer, thanks.

The effects may be better sublingually, provided you can stand the taste.

Yes, the pills are safe. They've been used by many over many years now.

Provided you have no dual medical conditions that cause your doctor concerns for your health they should be fine for you. As always, please do consult with a doctor. The information you get from her or him will be much more authoritative than what you get from us.

And do find ways to research this on your own as well. The internetz abound with medical info.

I thought Estradiol Valerate was considered to be one of the safest choices.
