estradiol vs estrone vs estriol - which is most potent
estradiol
ethinyl estradiol MOA
stimulation of estrogen receptors = change rate of transcription
relies on P450
ethinyl estradiol use
prevent osteoporosis
HRT
OCP
hypogonadism
ethinyl estradiol AE
breakthrough bleeding thromboembolism gallbladder diz hyperTG HTN depression
post menopausal women: breast CA, endometrial hyperplasia
**pro-thrombotic drug - blocks AT3
taken with p450 inducer = breakthrough bleeding, dec contraceptive efficacy
mestranol
prodrug - converted to ethinyl estradiol
dietthlstilbestrol
