Estradiol hemisuccinate explained
Estradiol hemisuccinate (brand name Eutocol), or simply estradiol succinate, also known as estradiol 17β-hemisuccinate, is an estrogen medication and an estrogen ester – specifically, the hemisuccinate ester of estradiol.[1] It is used as a component of hormone replacement therapy for menopause.
