Information About Ethinylestradiol

Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic oestrogen used as the oestrogenic component in combined oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy in Singapore. Available in formulations ranging from 10mcg to 50mcg in combination with various progestogens, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. As the universal oestrogenic backbone of most combined oral contraceptives, lower doses (20mcg) minimise oestrogen-related side effects like nausea and breast tenderness while maintaining contraceptive efficacy when paired with potent progestogens.
