title: [Plasma estrogen levels in postmenopausal women treated with estrogens alone or combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate in the same tablet].
abstract: A study was carried out with 30 postmenopausal women, treated with conjugated estrogens, alone, or associated with medroxyprogesterone acetate in the same tablet, assaying their plasmatic estrogen levels before and during the treatment, besides its clinical efficacy. There were no significative differences of a given doses in neither of both aspects. The conclusion was that the associated hormonal replacement therapy is a good choice that improves patients compliance with the therapy.
