Available formsEstratest is sold in tablet form, with either 1.25 mg estrogens/2.5 mg methyltestosterone or 0.625 mg estrogens/1.25 mg methyltestosterone available. PharmacologyThe product is a combination of esterified estrogens, an estrogen, and low-dose methyltestosterone, an androgen/anabolic steroid, in a single tablet. HistoryEstratest was first marketed in the United States in 1965 by Reid-Provident Laboratories, which as 100% of Reid-Rowell, Inc. stock was acquired by the Belgian pharmaceutical company Solvay in 1986. There has been some controversy surrounding the drug in recent years as to its status with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Solvay sponsored a clinical trial of Estratest in the United States to determine whether the product is superior to treatment with esterified estrogens tablets. Estratest was supplied by Solvay. In March 2009 Solvay announced that, based on a variety of business factors, it would discontinue supplying Estratest and Estratest HS tablets, and would stop accepting orders for the product on March 31, 2009.
