  • Title: Update on continuous estrogen-progestin replacement therapy.
    Author: Rosenfeld JA.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1994 Nov 15; 50(7):1519-23, 1527-8. PubMed ID: 7976988.
    Abstract:
    Estrogen replacement therapy is recommended for the prevention of osteoporosis and the attenuation of symptoms associated with menopause. Compliance may be a problem with sequential regimens of estrogen and progestin. To address this issue, continuous-dosing regimens of estrogen and progestin have been used. These regimens cause significantly less cyclic and intermenstrual bleeding and induce amenorrhea in most women, which should enhance compliance.
