Estradiol (
Estrace,
Vivelle-Dot, Climara) is a moderately priced drug used to treat
hot flashes and
osteoporosis. It is also used to treat women with low
estrogen levels or those who have had their ovaries removed. This drug is more popular than comparable drugs. It is available in multiple generic and brand versions. It is covered by some Medicare and insurance plans, but manufacturer and pharmacy coupons can help offset the cost.
