Figure 3. Estrogen Preparations for Use in Male-to-Female Gender Reassignment Therapy

Note: The equivalent maximum dose of the injectable estradiol valerate in the table is less than calculated more for safety reasons and lack of information using the higher doses. Also, the maximum dose of the estradiol patch is less than calculated due to the impractical number of patches and prohibitive cost.
