Composition[edit]

The medication is composed of three active ingredients:

  • Estradiol butyrylacetate is a synthetic, steroidal estrogen and a long-lasting prodrug of estradiol in the body. It is used as a component of hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms.
  • Testosterone ketolaurate is a synthetic, steroidal androgen and a long-lasting prodrug of testosterone in the body. It is used in androgen replacement therapy for conditions like hypogonadism.
  • Reserpine is an indole alkaloid antipsychotic and antihypertensive drug that has been used for the control of high blood pressure and for the relief of psychotic symptoms, although because of the development of better drugs for these purposes and because of its numerous side-effects, it is rarely used today.
