Özet

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the affects of an oral continuous and transdermal cyclic 17-beta estradiol and norethindrone acetate combination on platelet aggregation in postmenopausal women. STUDY DESIGN: Fifty postmenopausal women were randomly assigned to receive 17-beta estradiol and norethindrone acetate either orally continuously or transdermally cyclically and sequentially. Platelet counts and maximum platelet aggregation rates were measured before and after three months treatment. RESULTS: At three months there were no significant changes in platelet counts or in adenosine diphosphate-induced or epinephrine-induced platelet aggregation rates in either treatment group. CONCLUSION: Hormone replacement treatment with a 17-beta estradiol and norethindrone. acetate combination either orally continuously or transdermally cyclically and sequentially does not affect platelet aggregation in postmenopausal women.
