As with any medication, there can be side effects. These can include nausea, vomiting, bloating, stomach cramps, changes in weight or appetite, and breast tenderness. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately.
These capsules are typically prescribed for women experiencing symptoms of menopause or osteoporosis. They should not be used by individuals who are allergic to estrogens or any components of the capsule. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
Estrogens should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, you should discuss this with your healthcare provider.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Store these capsules at room temperature, away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medications away from children and pets.

Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
