Title: Do some types of E have less clot risk?
Post by: Rosa on July 27, 2013, 03:04:21 PM
I had a pulmonary embolism about a month after I had surgery for gallbladder. Does anybody know if certain forms of E have less chance of contributing to blood clots?

I've read a lot about a online but it still confusing to me. If I ever do get a script I'm going to need to do something cheap one of the generic Walmart drugs probably. Another question I had is if all of the E pills can be taken sublingually or if that is a specific kind of  E that is taken sublingually.

The prescribing physician is supposed to know this. That said, with thrombosis risk oral forms of estrogen are likely not in your future and yes, the most commonly prescribed oral estrogen can be administered sublingually. Insurance assuming you have it should cover it (patches).

No insurance.
