In order to prevent endometrial stimulation, the daily dose should not exceed 8 mg nor should this maximum dose be used for longer than several weeks. As for all hormone replacement therapies, yearly medical examination is advisable. With vaginal infections, a concomitant specific treatment is recommended. Patients with any of the following conditions should be monitored; thrombosis, severe liver disorders; porphyria; a history during pregnancy or previous use of steroids of severe pruritus, cholestatic jaundice, herpes gestationis, or otosclerosis.
