title: Treatment of climacteric complaints with oestriol.
abstract: 150 women with serious climacteric complaints were continuously treated from January, 1970, up to April, 1972, with Ovestin¿, an orally effective preparation containing 1 mg of oestriol per tablet. After one month of treatment subjective complaints were already considerably improved. Oestrogenic activity was markedly increased, according to vaginal smears and total gonadotrophin excretion in the urine. Its high tolerance and beneficial therapeutic effect make Ovestin the preparation of choice in the treatment of the climacteric syndrome.
