Subcutaneous Estradiol Pellets

Meaning

Subcutaneous Estradiol Pellets are a specialized, long-acting delivery system for hormone replacement therapy where small, compressed implants containing bioidentical estradiol are inserted just beneath the skin’s surface. This innovative delivery method is specifically designed to provide a continuous, stable release of the hormone into the bloodstream over an extended period of several months, effectively avoiding the undesirable peak-and-trough fluctuations common with other oral or transdermal preparations. The pellet modality is highly favored for its convenience and proven ability to maintain consistent, physiological hormone levels, which is highly beneficial for symptom management and long-term bone health.
