Ogen (Estropipate) and/or alternatives

General Information On Ogen

Ogen is used for treating or managing hot flashes in females after menopause. After the age of 45 to 55 years, the ovaries of women stop producing estrogen, which results in burning, dryness, or itching in or around the vagina. The generic name of the drug is Estropipate and it is also used for treating post-menopausal symptoms like osteoporosis. You can buy Ogen in the form of oral tablets and you will need to take the strength that is prescribed by your doctor. Sometimes, Ogen can also be used for treating certain cancers like prostate cancer and metastatic breast cancer.

Headache, dizziness, stomach upset, lightheadedness, nausea, bloating, weight changes, depleted sex drive, and breast tenderness can commonly occur. However, you need to contact your doctor if you experience severe depression or memory loss, breast lumps, unusual vaginal bleeding, swelling on the hands or feet, unusual vaginal itching, odor, or discharge, yellowing of the eyes or skin, persistent vomiting or nausea, worsening of seizures, stomach or abdominal pain, and worsening diabetes symptoms like increased urination and thirst.
