6 Oral Dosage Forms General Considerations Micronized vs. non micronized Use source of chemical with consistent quality Size and % of micronization is critical Higher risk of toxic metabolites with oral dosing of estrogens Immediate-release Capsules 95% destroyed in the upper GI tract Requires more frequent dosing No good reason to use Slow-release Capsules Provides good level response Less failures and side effects from peak and valley effects of other dosage forms Can dose QD or BID Commonly used for progesterone When prescribing write E4M on prescription PCCA Document # PCCA.
