(Redirected from Testosterone ester mixture)

Combined sex-hormonal preparations are pharmaceutical drugs that contain a combination of sex hormones. These preparations are primarily used in hormonal contraception and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The combination usually involves a form of estrogen and a form of progestogen, mimicking the natural hormone levels in the body to prevent ovulation, prepare the body for pregnancy, or alleviate symptoms of menopause.

  • Transdermal patch: A patch applied to the skin that releases hormones into the bloodstream.
