Comment from American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology

Summary: Dr. James D. Studdard, a practicing gynecologist, argues that the combination pill Estratest@ should remain available as a therapeutic option for postmenopausal women. He contends that the drug is more effective than estrogen alone for many patients, improves treatment compliance, and provides a necessary dosage that avoids the side effects of male-oriented androgen products.
