Seventeen postmenopausal subjects were randomized into this comparative study of esterified estrogen 0.625 mg (Estratab), esterified estrogen 0.625 mg plus 1.25 mg methyltestosterone (Estratest H.S.), or conjugated estrogen 0.625 mg (Premarin). Sixteen subjects completed the study in which plasma hormone concentrations of estrone and estradiol were assessed at various time points. There were no significant differences among the treatment groups.
