Side effects of estradiol benzoate include breast tenderness, breast enlargement, nausea, headache, and fluid retention. [17] Estradiol benzoate is an estrogen and hence is an agonist of the estrogen receptor, the biological target of estrogens like estradiol. [4] [5] It is an estrogen ester and a prodrug of estradiol in the body.
EBB is an estradiol ester, or a prodrug of estradiol. [6] [5] As such, it is an estrogen, or an agonist of the estrogen receptors.[6] [5] EBB is of about 64% higher molecular weight than estradiol due to the presence of its C3 benzoate and C17β butyrate esters.
This is a list of currently marketed formulations of estradiol benzoate (EB) throughout the world. [1] [2] [3] Both EB alone and combinations of EB with other medications are included.
Estradiol production during the menstrual cycle is 30–640 µg/d (6.4–8.6 mg total per month or cycle). The vaginal epithelium maturation dosage of estradiol benzoate or estradiol valerate has been reported as 5 to 7 mg/week. An effective ovulation-inhibiting dose of estradiol undecylate is 20–30 mg/month. Sources: See template.

Estradiol 17β-benzoate (E2-17B) is an estrogen and an estrogen ester—specifically, the C17β benzoate ester of estradiol—which was never marketed. [1] [2] [3] It is the C17β positional isomer of the better-known and clinically used estradiol ester estradiol benzoate (estradiol 3-benzoate; Progynon-B). [1]
Many esters of estradiol have been marketed, including the following major esters: [1] [2] Estradiol acetate (Femring, Femtrace, Menoring); Estradiol benzoate (Agofollin Depot, Progynon-B; Duogynon, Primosiston, Sistocyclin)
