Popis: To evaluate the effects of an oral continuous and transdermal cyclic 17-beta estradiol and norethindrone acetate combination on platelet aggregation in post-menopausal women.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.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.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.
